Help. Accessory plugs dead.

[Bob Montgomery]

Well, there was a loose wire under my dash, near the accessory plug, and my service manager noticed it and "plugged" it back in. Now both my accessory plugs are dead. Does anyone know where the fuse is? I see what looks like a fuse box in front of the drivers seat on the firewall, but I cannot reach it. Suggestions appreciated. We have a 2016 Ace 29.3

I had a similar problem with my 29M. The foglights didn't work and the fuse is in that box on the firewall. After a few minutes of contortionist type movements I was able to get to the box and the fuse. Turns out it was a loose wire on a plug going into the fuse box. Hardest repair yet on my new coach.

You must have very long arms.... there is no way I can reach that fuse box. What were they thinking of?

Thinking??? They weren't!!

I put the driver's seat all the way back and laid over the dog house on my side. It was a bi... Luckily, I'm short and used to working in tight spaces from my aircraft mechanic days, but my old body took some abuse that day.

The only other way I can think of is to remove the drivers seat.... and I am concerned that when removing the bolts the nuts may fall off making a problem into a nightmare. Has anyone removed the seat?

Many of us have had that problem. The 12 volt fuse for the 12 volt receptacles on the dash is under the hood in the Ford power control box. Ford fuse diagram list it as a cigarette lighter fuse #22. <https://fuse-box.info/ford/ford-f-53-f-59-stripped-chassis-2013-2016-2017-fuses-and-relay#2016>


The fuse panel by the drivers left is for Thor installed equipment in the front cap and this fuse panel is powered by the 100 amp circuit breaker in the engine compartment on the frame rail next to the chassis battery.

Thank you! Now if I can get to the fuse box under the hood somewhere....
