Power shades not working.

My right and left windshield power shades are not working. Even with the engine on. They worked fine a few weeks ago and don't now. I did replace all batteries and they are fine.
Do these shades work off the house or chassis battery? I did reset the breaker for the front TV...no help there. Ideas anyone?
  • Thanks for the response gang. I checked GFI, and that did not work. i will check the fuses under the dash next....make that i will HAVE SOMEONE check the fuses under the dash....

    Other than a big Girard patio awning which is 120V, I know of no others that work off of 120V.
    I would look for a blown 12V fuse on the chassis side.
  • You might want to check to see if any GFI’s might be tripped. Sounds crazy but one of my power window awnings stopped working and I found the GFI that my coffee pot is plugged in was tripped. Re set it and everything is fine now.
  • I believe that mine were both powered by the chassis battery. Look under the dash, to the left of the steering wheel, for the fuse block. You basically had to stand on your head to get to the fuse block on mine.
