Fuse Panel

Help!  Can anyone tell me where to find the fuse panel for the storage bay lights on my 36' 1995 Grand Villa?

Look on drawing B-2126 "Automotive Wiring Diagram" if you have it.

The 15A manual reset circuit breaker is under the white fiberglass cover on bay wall, street side, central storage bay.

Second breaker from the bottom, right hand stack of 4 breakers.

Push the little black button on the side of breaker back in, if it is sticking out.

Hey chuck
No breakers in there that is where the main power line is with the big fuse
Have you ever dealt with the little brown box in the main storage bin called "touch lite" it is a circuit board that controls the push button switches for the lights in the bay's
I think that that could be my problem
The lights in the bay's are not working
Any ideas

Sorry, your coach is obviously different than mine.  I guess your electrical setup must be more like the later Unicoach models.

I do have a brown "TouchLite" module, but on my coach it only controls the lighted entry door assist handle.

You still should be able to find the bay lights circuit and circuit breaker(s) for your coach on the appropriate B-2126 electrical diagram.  If the diagram linked below is the correct one for your coach, it sure looks to me like the "storage lights" circuit breaker is located in the same place as on my coach - under the white fiberglass cover.  Maybe on your coach they aren't circuit breakers - maybe they are blade type fuses?  You said there is a "big fuse" under your white cover?  According to the diagram below, the circuit breakers (or fuses) and the "big 175A fuse" should be right next to each other on the same panel.

The selected media item is not currently available.

Here is the TouchLite module info for the entry door handle (like my coach).  Probably no help to you, however:

I have no idea if a U280 is the same, but in our '95 U240 those breakers are in the compartment in front of the rear tires on the passenger side.

Listen to Chuck. They don't look like breakers. They're lil black square thingys with a tiny push button on the side. Several of them.

Here is a photo of the main 12V breaker panel on our coach.  In the middle storage bay, on the aft wall, driver side - white fiberglass cover.

Yellow arrow points to the manual reset circuit breaker for the storage bay lights.

DonnieHey
Found the circuit breakers and you were right re set the breaker and some of the lights worked

Upon further inspection it looks like the little pressure switches on 2 of the compartments are not working
I will try to find replacements and replace should fix the problem
Thanks

Just replaced one of my pressure switches and a couple of the rubber bumper that make contact with them.  Foretravel has them in stock and they are reasonable.

When I converted to LED lights in all our storage bays, I also got rid of the flimsy old plastic push button switches.  See below:
