Tail light fuse

May 20, 2017, 01:27:39 pm

A newbie here, having trouble locating the fuse panel for my tail lights.  I removed the panel in front of passenger seat but no fuses only junction blocks.  I have a 96 u295.    And are the aux lights on the same circuit.  Thanks for any suggestions  , dan

Dan, good to see posting, you have been on here for several years. I can't answer

your question but I know someone will jump in here and get you an answer. Saturday

afternoons are slow times on here, so hold on and there will be an answer soon.

Do you have a manual with electrical schematics? That might be an answer or you

might put "1996 (or 96) fuse location in the search box in the far top right hand of the forum

page. That little box is really great, learn to use it and it will be your friend for life. It needs to

have flashing neon lights around it as it is hard to locate when you are not familiar with it.

I have no doubt that Michelle, the lady with the answers to almost anything you want to know

about anything Foretravel will plug in the neons soon ! ! ! Foretravel has so much stuff to get into

the limited amount of storage area tat sometime finding fuses can be confusing.

Good luck in your hunt.

Check the bed pedestal. There is a bank of 12 v automotive fuses located there on mine. There are three doors to fuses or circuit breakers. One is the house 120 v, then the inverter circuits then the automotive.

here are two 12v system drawings.
they suggest that the tail light fuse is in the dash panel

Dan,

 Elliott is correct in the location of the taillight breaker. It is hid in the breaker cabinet that is behind the kick panel. You may not be able to read the breaker numbers on the print so it is breaker 30 on a '96 coach. What you may be calling "junction blocks" may actually be the breakers.  They are self resetting and can go bad.

What are you referring to as "aux lights"?  Are you talking about the docking lights, fog lights, clearance lights or what?

Thanks everyone for your input, there is so much to learn.  Special thanks to my fellow members David Bouchard and Neil Pillsbury, they drove over from east fort Myers to assist and with their expertise we were able to following the electrical diagram and discovered that someone in the past had incorrectly wired the light switch .  The tail lights would work only when the parking lights were on but would go off when the switch was pulled all the way out for the headlights. We reattached wire 205 to the proper terminal at the switch and problem solved.  Still haven't figured out why the aux lights ( fog lights) don't work.  Will work on that when we get to Michigan . Leaving Thursday for a 5 k trip north .

The aux lights only work with the ignition on and the aux switch on and the headlights on dim
