Engine compartment light

Was replacing my Fluorescent lighting in the engine bay with LEDs. Found I have no power. Looked in the wiring diagram but can't locate it, other than how much it consumes 1.5 A. Anyone know where the circuit breaker or fuse for this is??

Did you check the fuses at the end of the bed?

Chuck you are correct. Shares the bedroom fluorescent lights that didn't work now. I must've shorted it out when I was removing the fixture out in the engine bay. Replaced fuse ops check OK

If 15A, try to get the fuses that light up (red) when they blow. Sure makes it easy to identify which one is blown without having to get down on your hands and knees to inspect each and every fuse.

I've been installing fuse panels that have the led built in my other projects.

Amazon.com: WUPP Boat Fuse Block, Waterproof Fuse Panel with LED Warning...

Another trouble shooting aid I've also been adding is a led at the component. Example would be the starter, one on the solenoid and one on the main power wire. I don't see them when I'm driving and they use almost no power. Gives you effortless power indication continuously when powered.  Kinda like the leds on your New trailer light plug. I must admit it's not the getting down on my knees, it's getting up!
