87 Odyssey - no 12v on drivers side

[tawd77]

Im not getting any DC power on the drivers side wall. There is 2 fuse boxes. One under the fridge, and one in the panel of the Power Converter. each has four unmarked fuses. The fuse panel in the converter had one blown fuse. Put in a new fuse, and didnt seem to affect anything... SO, Does anyone know where the wiring is routed that goes to the drivers side so I can troubleshoot? The waterpump, and battery indicator panel is ont he drivers side and it has power, but no lights have power. They are on seperate circuits obviously. Anyhow, any help would be appreciated! Thanks

I just got an RV like yours. Do you know if the RV can be raise up a little higher from the ground?

I have two 12 volt circuits fed from the fuses under the electrical center. If the wiring was damaged, causing the fuse to blow, then you really need to trace the circuit starting right at the panel. My guess wherever the wire runs in an area subject to something coming into contact with it, like under the dinette seat, etc.., or where it maight have been damaged at a turn or fastener, would be the culprit. If you can't visibly trace the wiring, I'd try going fom device to device with a continuity tester until the bad section was located. Just replacing the bad section rather than fooling with it is sometimes faster and easier. On another note, I had a similar problem with the 120 volt outlets. The GFCI outlet had activated and turned off power to the devices on the same circuit. In my rig, there are two circuits, one serving each side of the rig, each with the GFCI recepticle first in line to protect each circuit. the solution it to trip and reset all your GFCI outlets, and the power will probably restore.
