2001 Monaco Dynasty optional fuse panel location

Working on the powered window blinds on the slideout.We have one blind removed as the switch and motor were bad. Now none of the blinds in the coach will work so my guess is it blew a fuse.Okay then

replace the fuse. We checked each fuse under the drivers side compartment but there must be another fuse panel on the coach. We searched ALL the obvious areas, some internet posters have said they have

found optional fuse panels in the bedroom, in the bathroom, under and inside the storage areas. etc. etc.

Is it possible that with having one blind removed that the power is lost to all of them? The rocker switch has a small circuit board on it. Kind of like if one bulb burns out the whole tree goes dark?

I searched the wiring diagram for the coach and it doesn't show the blinds.

Also anyone find replacement motors for these blinds? The drop down one on the drivers windshield burnt out also.

Merry Christmas

    Yes, got meter. There is a possibility we may have to use the rig with one blind missing. Not sure what to do in this case.
    It should be possible to connect the failed fixture's (+) phase wire with the (+) phase wire that continues the circuit to the other fixtures. A wire nut would be necessary. The same should be done with any (-) phase wire that was connected to the fixture.

    The wiring diagram shows a 12 volt house panel. It shows being seperate from the main panel up front. Its not near the engine or house batteries.
    What a joke.

    Yes, the circuit for the blinds may be just like that, daisy-chained from one to another. Got meter?
