1999 Ford F53 Motorhome Chassis Fuse Issue
I apologize if this question has appeared elsewhere.
The start of this problem was with the Kwikee step fuse blowing. I checked all of the fuses on the Intellitec fuse panel under the step, changed the bottom fuse and it worked.
I turned on the radio & it worked. Turned it off then back on and nothing.
I started checking connections under the dash. The reading was 0 volts on the accessory wire and ground, then 0 volts on the battery wire and ground.
I traced the line to the Body Build wire bundle.
Next I checked the fuses in both the Distribution Fuse Box and the under dash fuse panel.
On the Distr.Panel all maxi and standard fuses and the upper row of mini fuses read the battery voltage, but the lower row were all “0”.
The under dash panel had all fuses read “0”.
The last section of fuses I found was under the step in the battery compartment. The fuse that blew on the step circuit was the bottom fuse. The next two moving upwards read “0”, while the rest read 12 volts. Yet all were visually inspected and passed.
It would appear that I have either a partial ground, a feed wire from the battery to the fuses or... I’m at my wits end.
Any ideas?
