those connections (wire nuts) are secure. I removed them and had a look.
So with all of them (wire nuts and the wires) having a good connection with the result being the red light still present with each switch......the hot wire going into the fuse box might need to be relocated to another terminal?
Or as you indicated, maybe the wire going to the fuse is loose. I did not tug on it or otherwise mess with it, Suppose that is a next step.
Since you have a 30 amp fuse for the slide I am assuming you have a heavier lead for that fuse. If you want to do something quick just switch the lead the fuse is feeding for the slide to another terminal and make sure you have at less a 20 amp fuse in that terminal and try running your smallest slide.
Very easy to access. Just a screw driver and big box cover comes off. Make sure your shoreline is not plugged in as breaker connections will be bare also . Take your time. I don’t have a good pic of your box or I could be more specific.
Success, I have power! did I mention I hate electrical?
I first determined the wiring I had though was the circuit was in fact the wire. Testing with the cover off reveals no power.
fished the wire from under the box and out of the hole from the switch panel.
Hooking the wire directly to another circuit and I now have power to all slides. I tried a 20 amp and then I put the original 30 amp in the slot and it also works.
So a bad circuit in the power distribution box is it. So can I just use the new circuit or is it recommended to replace the box? back of panel wiring before moving the circuit power at the new circuit wiring hooked before applying power
First of all congrats! You did it! Yes, just use a different circuit. Make sure you have large enough wire in the new circuit. You can just move wires around. The problem you had is a rarity. I have almost never run into it so that made diagnosis a greater challenge.
Congratulations Scott! I've been following your progress because I know just enough about electrics to be dangerous, and figured I might learn something. And what I learned is that when I'm near near Bristol with an RV problem, I'm calling RV_Tech. What a gentleman you are sir!
