Breaker or fuse for 12 volt plug?

2007 Sunnybrook 26' TT. The 12V plug in the TV nook is not working, the light will not come when pushing the small button by the plug. I checked the 110V breakers but can't find one for 12V. Any advice is appreciated.
  • Examine automotive 12 volt fuses carefully. They can look OK with just a quick glance.
  • bob213 is correct.
    Also, sometimes single circuits have a simple in-line fuse.
    Similar to this....
  • If you're unlucky in it not being the fuse, there's always the chance it's a bad connection somewhere. A bad connection may or may not be hard to find. If not a fuse, perhaps start by pulling the wall plate off and use a voltmeter to see if there's 12 volts at the wall plate. Suppose it could be a bad wall outlet/plate too. I've had loose wires at crimp connections including one where the wire fell right out when touched.
  • Great, I didn't see any fuses initially by the breakers but I'll check closer and go from there.
    Thanks!
  • Found it, the 12V fuse box was in a totally different location. The 7.5 amp fuse blown. Thanks.
