An appliance not working in your RV?
First, make sure you are first unplugged from 240v electric power....just to be on the safe side.
Next locate the 12v fuse box, which could be under the seats in the rear or maybe a liftable side side step.
Find the marked fuse to the appliance not working and put in the same sized fuse to test if this solves the problem (there could be another fuse of the same size you could pull out just to test). If not or the fuse blows again then there could be another wiring issue and this will need an RV specialist to locate. Only change fuses if you are comfortable and with agreement from your Owner. If in doubt then do NOT try!
Some general info on replacing a fuse is as the below video and essentially shows how to see if a 12v fuse is blown.

AI INFORMATION: Q: How can I replace a 12V fuse in my RV?
Replacing a 12V fuse in your RV is a common maintenance task that can be easily managed even on the road. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you:
1. Identify the Blown Fuse: Locate your RV’s fuse box; this is usually found under the dashboard or in a compartment. Check for the blown fuse by looking for a break in the wire inside the fuse or checking if it looks dark and cloudy.
2. Turn Off Power: For safety reasons, ensure your RV’s engine and all power circuits are turned off before touching any fuses.
3. Remove the Blown Fuse: Use a fuse puller or a pair of needle-nose pliers to carefully extract the blown fuse from its slot.
4. Select the Correct Replacement Fuse: Ensure the new fuse matches the amperage rating (e.g., 10A, 15A, 20A) of the old fuse. Using the wrong amperage can damage your electrical system or pose a fire hazard.
5. Insert the New Fuse: Carefully insert the new fuse into the slot. It should fit snugly without forcing it in.
6. Test the Circuit: Turn the power back on and test the circuit to ensure the new fuse is working correctly. If the new fuse blows immediately, there may be a deeper electrical issue that requires professional attention.
