Electrical gremlin

Help please?

Got back from a road trip. Left the coach (2018 ACE 30.3) unplugged in the driveway for two days.

Found these things not working on 12V:
Fridge - checked with a meter - not getting 12V
Front of coach ceiling lights
Bathroom ceiling light
Bathroom vent fan

Lights work on 110V.

Everything else is working on 12V - water pump, drop down bunk, ceiling vent fan, stovetop vent fan, slides, ceiling lights in the bedroom.

Checked the logical fuses, they were fine.

Any ideas?

Did you check your coach batteries for their voltage?

I did not. I assumed since everything else was working that they were supplying sufficient power.

They may have gotten low voltage when sitting for a couple days but they should be good now.

I’ll check anyhow, thank you for the idea.

All the fuses are good. Batteries are both putting out 13.6V. What looks like some sort of breakers in the battery compartment are all good.

Anyone ever seen a second fuse panel anywhere?

I think I figured it out!

The wire coming out of the back of the fuse panel seemed to have a loose connection. I was trying to jam my multimeter probe into it and all the sudden I hear the fridge click on. This weekend’s project: make sure all the wires out of the fuse box are snug.

Thank you all for your ideas!

Here is a thread with a 110/12V layout, if you do not have it already.
