12 Volt Fuses

A 12 volt DC distribution panel is located next to the
120 volt circuit breakers. The panel contains circuits with
replaceable fuses for protection of recreational vehicle
12 volt lines. If any line is loaded beyond the capacity of
its fuse, the fuse will blow. A portion of the 12 volt load on
the line must be turned off to reduce the total load on the
line to a level below the capacity of the fuse. Replace the
fuse with the same size fuse. DO NOT replace with a
larger fuse than indicated.
If this reduction of load on the line does not stop the
blowing of the fuses, there may be a short somewhere
along the 12 volt line or at a not-fused 12 volt component
on the line. Check the 12 volt line and any components
along the line. Locate the short and take necessary steps
to repair it. If you cannot locate the problem, call a quali-
fied RV technician.
NOTE:
Keep additional fuses on hand in the recreational vehicle
replacement fuses are available at gas stations, hard-
ware stores, or automotive supply stores. Remember
that the replacement fuse must be the same amperage
rating as the original fuse.
NOTE:
Your unit may also be equipped with an Inverter which is
used to generate 120 volt power from a 12 volt battery.
