storage lights

April 18, 2013, 09:53:17 pm

I have a 1995 U 240. I was changing a light in a storage department and blew the fuse. No lights in storage departments and I cannot find the fuse. If anyone knows where the fuse is located I would appreciate the help. Thanks mike

Well, have done the same thing, on a 1993 U225, so not the same solution for your's. But, I did find the bay lights on a fuse hidden behind a removable white fiberglass cover that covered fuse boxes, and breakers, and battery supply cables.  Mine happens to be in the battery compartment bay, which on my coach is the first forward of the passenger drive wheels.  U240 likely to be different.  I have put labels on the cover to guide someone inside the cover to discover the hidden fuses.

You might be headed the right direction.  I have another white fiberglass compartment removable cover, wonder what is hidden there myself.

Looked at the schematic and verified the "Storage Lights" (schematic term) is behind the white fiberglass cover.  But it's a self resetting fuse.  So maybe it went bad and wont reset.  There are no labels on any of these fuses but (at least on mine) it's the only one with two wires on the output side.  They do appear to be in the order that the schematic shows.
I know my coach isn't a U240 but Foretravel seems to be very consistent with things like this.

On our 1997 U295, the breakers in the main bay behind the white fiberglass panel do not reset automatically. There is a tiny black button on the side that must be pushed in to reset the breaker. I have found that a popsicle stick works well to push the buttons to reset the breakers. I learned this after some water got into the coach and tripped the breaker for the basement storage lights.

I wonder if that's where I reset the power for the passenger seat six way.

As I recall those are not self resetting fuses but they are breakers that have to be manually reset. The reset button is a very small red thing on a small brown breaker and you have to look really hard to see it. Of course that is from memory and sometimes mine ain't all that good. FWIW
