Digital Clock over bed died. ???

The digital clock on my 2000 U320 over the bed has no display.  All the other switches work, i.e. lights, generator start, etc.  Have looked at the fuses at the foot of the bed and fond everyhting to be fine.

Is there another fuse somehwere maybe?

There are so many wires in there from years of adding things it scares me ( tapping into power)  - like a Pressure Pro relay, rear cameras that have come and gone, etc. :)  If I can find a quick fix I'll be good. Otherwise it'll be something that just doesn't work for now...  One of the DW's favorite things!

Thanks in advance ( TIA)

Hey, one thing to check, on ours we can "DIM" the light all the way down to no light at all.  Check to see if your clock light has been "dimmed" down to nothing.  Just a thought!

It is most likely on a fused circuit somewhere, but you will need the schematic or some other device not working to find it.  If it is not just dimmed, the first thing to do is take it down test for power with a voltmeter.

I had an issue at first also, removed from the mounting, unplugged looked it over and replugged and it took off working and has ever since.
For me the bigger issue was learning now to program both the AM/PM and alarm feature then how to turn the alram off.  More Foretravel learning experience, been fine since.

Mine also does not work but it was way down the list to figure out why.
 
Then a couple of months ago when reading thru the previous owner's service records I found a related service item.  Seems the owner got frustrated that the clock/alarm work intermittently so he had the tech cut the wires!  Well, at least I'll have a good idea on where to start... 
The selected media item is not currently available.

  And I have had a camping World tech back there installing a new camera. No telling what HE cut.  I'll go over it again one day when I'm really, really bored :)  There are a TON of wires in the area from so many add-ns over the years.  Just don't know where to start!  Told the DW I'd buy her a little digital clock she could velcro to the overhead.  She's happy with that for now.
Cheers!
