12v fuses

Is there a way to pop the 12v fuses in my Itasca? I'd normally do that when working on wiring.
Thanks and merry Christmas.

Sometimes I'm a little slow so what is: pop the fuses?

The easiest method is to remove the negative battery cable or cables.

If you do this you will also want to turn off any 120 vac you have because the converter will power the 12 vdc if powered, even with the battery disconnected. I would just pull the fuse or if you have 12 v breakers just pull them to the tripped position.

It is a good idea to power of the 120 VAC. On the Winnebago's I don't know of a way to turn off the 12 VDC breakers and the fuses are hard to get to.

Sorry for mixing up the original post, pop a circuit breaker is what I meant took say. I have popped a few fuses by mistake over the years.
I know about taking the negative battery cable off and turning of the converter but I don't went to shut down the whole system just one part. With other campers I'd just pull the fuse for the circuit I needed off.
Thanks for your help, Merry Christmas.

Like John said I don't know of any way to open the 12 volt breakers.

Depends on the breakers, Some like ATO or ATC breakers you unplug, just like a fuse of the same type. Others you can have to use an insulated tool to remove the nut and lift the wire off, Do the LOAD side if you can safer that way.

The proper size socket, and wrap both it and the driver shaft with a couple layers of electrical tape will work well, If you need it often leave it that way.
