CHASSIS FUSES, FUSIBLE LINKS,
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The wiring circuits in your Motor Home are
designed to be protected from short circuits by
a combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusi-
ble thermal links in the wiring itself . This helps
to reduce the hazard of electrically-caused fires
in the vehicle.
The fuse and circuit breaker block is located
behind the glove compartment door. All chassis
circuits are protected by fuses or circuit breakers
located here except :
Living
Area Electrical Compartment
88
HEATER BLOWER-Which has a 30-amp
in-line fuse located behind the right access
door near the heater blower motor.
HEADLAMP CIRCUITS-Are protected by
a circuit breaker in the main light switch . An
electrical overload in the light circuit will
cause the lights to go on and off or in some
cases to remain off. If this condition develops,
have the wiring circuits checked immediately .
Circuit breakers of remote reset type can be
reset only after turning the affected circuit con-
trol switch "OFF" for approximately 40 seconds,
or by removing the breaker from clips for this
period of time.
CAUTION
Do not touch body of any installed
breaker of this type with bare hands; if
circuit should happen to be shorted or
overloaded-the breaker body could be
hot and cause a burn .
A replaceable fuse link is located at the bat-
tery pickup junction block behind the right
access door . If an overload should occur, this link
is designed to fail (open circuit) preventing dam-
age to the main wiring harness . Another link
of the same wire gauge and length must be in-
stalled in its place in the event of failures .
IMPORTANT : When replacing fuse or circuit
breaker, make sure replacement is of same num-
ber as marked on block.
TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD
WARNING FLASHER
The turn signals and the hazard warning
system both operate with the same flasher . This
flasher is clipped behind the dashboard just to
the right of the steering column .
LIVING AREA ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Both the 12-volt DC and 120-volt AC circuits
in the Motor Home living area are designed to be
protected by a series of fuses and circuit breakers .
The 12-volt living area circuits are protected by
automotive-type fuses, and the 120-volt circuits
are protected by circuit breakers like those
found in modern homes.
The 12-volt living area fuse block is located
in the electrical compartment, next to the hall
closet, along with power converter and main
