Fuse panel under dash

[Walt Butler]

Need a copy of fuse panel under dash, back up camera blowing fuses, which fuse and can I replace with higher fuse

Need to know what year, make, model of RV. And generally speaking; no, you cannot replace a fuse that blows with a higher fuse, unless you want to test out your fire fighting abilities.

Walt-

Is your Brave built on a Ford or Workhorse chassis? Can you confirm the chassis model year from the "Unfinished Vehicle" label in the coach? It could be a 2001 or 2002 chassis.

Winnebago provides wiring diagrams for your coach at this link. The applicable one is the Automotive Wiring Diagram. For a Ford, the applicable connector is found on Sheet 1, Zone D-14, which is page 3 of the PDF document. Circuit "TR" is the backup signal that Ford sends. You trace this back to Sheet 1, Zone C-6, which is on sheet 2 of the PDF document.

Ford wiring diagrams generally are not available online without cost. I bought a DVD. I infer from the diagram that in 2002 the fuse for the backup signal is something around #34 in the Ford fuse box under the dash, to the left of the steering column. Ford provides chassis manuals at this link. The one for a 2002 F-53 chassis is here. Page 44 says the fuse is #32, a 10A fuse.

If your coach is built on a Workhorse, use Sheet 2 of the Automotive Wiring Diagram. It will tell you that the "TR" signal originates on the "D3" pin of the Convenience Center, which is the Workhorse term for under-dash fuse box. I'm kinda worn out working through the Ford stuff, so if your coach is a WH, I'll come back to assist.

I note in passing that I've only discussed the source of the backup signal, "TR." A short could be occurring on the ignition-switched 12V input, "WG." In both "TR" and "WG" cases, other devices would be affected when the fuse blows. Have you observed this?

As was said, it is poor practice to replace a fuse with one of a higher rating. The fuse protects the wires. Melted wire bundles is the least unhappy result; a fire is the most unhappy result. If a short circuit exists, causing a fuse to blow repeatedly, find that and fix it.

Walt Butler-

OK, here's my guess, based on the information I have. It comes from a 2004, different chassis model.

Under the dash, to the left of the steering column, there should be two Workhorse fuse panels. One is larger than the other. You want the smaller one. The Fuse number is 10. It is a 15A fuse. The fuse location is marked "TURN/BU" in the fuse block. It serves the turn signals and the park/neutral indicator, so if the fuse is blown those should not work, either.

Not sure where to post this. Hope I am in the right space.

I am having issue with my Tow Connector where it is not giving me a 12V stream. I was told to check my fuse box and have no idea where to look. Any advise would be appreciated. Winnebago Intent 31P

I suggest you check out IRV2.com (Winnieowner's sister site) and its Workhorse forum, particularly its Workhorse Important Discussions:

Thanks so much for the help. I was on the road with my Toad behind my sightseer changing lanes like crazy as the nav told me to when I realized that the signal lights were not working. The user manual was no help but I did know where the fuses were. Of course they weren't marked so I was very happy to find your post that gave the number of the fuse.
