2000 Adventurer Power Mirror problems?

The power mirrors and probably the heater also does not work. I could not locate a fuse to check to see if it was blown, unless it is in another location than under the dash.

I would appreciate any trouble shooting tips anyone may have, I just do ot know where to start.

Before we go way out telling you things you may already know, what level do you feel you are on DIY and electrical drawings? If I point to where to possibly find the drawing is that good? Or if that throwing you into a swamp with no way to get out?
I read drawings and some do it a lot, too, but if it's new territory, it can be mean to throw a new guy in that pool!!
Lots of info here for drawings online but I will take a look and then how much info you want and how to tell it can speed things up a lot!

Winn home page here:
https://www.winnebago.com/
under "owners "tab are links to drawings and manuals of all kinds!

Thanks for all the info, I am good at DYI, just not reading diagrams! I am a point me in the right direction. I still do not understand where the location of the chassis fuse block is?

Okay, good enough place to start and I can do some of the digging on the diagrams, etc. to see if we can locate the right stuff!
One of the big problems with just dealing with drawings like this is it isn't always spelled out in a way that makes any sense until somebody goes and looks!
There are somethings that seem to kind of be "normal" on most RV but not always.
One of the things that seem to be true is the chassis stuff on electrical is often outside the RV house. That makes sense if we think of what you get with a stripped down chassis like Workhorse where they build and wire it before it goes to Winnebago. So the fuse or breakers are more likely to be on the part they built.
I've not had a Workhorse but on Ford chassis there have often been a separate box out under the hood where horn, lights, horn has been found.

Better info says it might be under the dash? Got any idea where the flasher is or can you hear it click when turn signal on as a way to look for it? I would guess under dash pod on left side but that is pure guess!!

Got this somewhere with the flasher relay bottom right?

If you can find it, what is that thing at the top marked "WHT"? Is it a plug or a funny way to draw a fuse or what?? It think it important as a place to get the power for both outside mirrors and satellite prep. Maybe not found satellite prep not working?

Maybe see if any of that makes more sense when you can see it!!!
Or IF you can see it!

Weird question time?
Looking for info on where that fuse panel might be and not getting anything good but wanted to ask something.
They surely would not put it way out of reach so that we couldn't get to it some way? So do you have any idea of whether the top cover of the dash would lift up? Does it show anything like a hinge along the front near the bottom of the windshield that might let it swing up to see underneath instead of crawling around upside down?
Some Winnebago at some point did do that! So if you look at the second picture in post 3 above, is it possible that fuse panel is hiding just under the top of the dash on a second layer of metal maybe?
That might let you fold the top up and be looking directly down on the fuses so we could get to them?

Any of you other folks who might have had a 2000 era Adventurer that might know if it might work that way? Or am I just blowing in the wind?

Feel free to jump in if it might help find things!

As a way to test if the fuse for wire LD is good, there is a second way. There appears to be power for fans that use the same wire. Maybe a quick way to say if the fuse is good, without finding it, is to check if these fans work!
I'm not sure what fans, though! Are there fans to clear condensation on the windshield that might be called "aux fans" and do they work?
See how they use the same hot lead as the mirror relay?

BINGO!
From the owners manual on opening dash to get to wiring!
I'm guessing that opens to find the fuse panel?

The chassis fuse block is likely under the dash, it is in mine!
