Chassis fuse panel

Sorry to re- open an old topic, but I can't find the chassis fuse panel.

'92 Breakaway, 5.9 Cummins, Spartan chassis, side entrance

I've checked under the dash access panel, in both rear side engine compartments, around house 12v. panel, in electric compartment below driver.
NO fuse panel
The original wiring diagrams mention the "un-fused terminal block behind the dash. I can see it.
They wouldn't build this without fuses, would they? hmm

Anyway the reason for the search is no right rear turn signal. Not the bulb, no power coming to the signal. Have brake lights & left turn signal.
Would the turn signals be fused separately?

This is a new problem, they all worked before.

Thanks in advance for any help. - Ric

Pre-'94 Breakaways sometimes had the fuse and relay panel in the front basement compartment, driver's side. There has to be - somewhere - fuses. That said, it's likely that your issue is not fuses, but wiring.

Do the lights flash (front and rear) on Hazard?

The electrical panel below the drivers window on our 93 Refency has all the DC circuits and they are controlled by circuit breakers. A few fuses are in a string for the electrical step in the same compartment. All th lights are on that panel.

Brake light, no turn signal is most likely in your lever switch. Not sure how Spartain wired theirs, On GMs the brake sw feeds the turn signal switch. Out of the signal switch to a left & right turn /brake circuit. Switching on turn signal draws power thru flasher relay.

On my 28'er and 30'er, the fuse panel was on the bulkhead between the engine compartment and the coach living area, accessed by lifting the bed and looking straight down.

That makes sense to me.
As I recall, there are a bunch of relays in the small exterior bay practically beneath the driver's seat.

I have a '95 Barth Soverign, and the turn signals are separate from the brake lights...check for cut/poked/crimped wires in the split plastic harness in the back of the coach.

Most of the RV dealers tech people are not really bright, and you would be surprised how they mistreat the wiring when tracing/tracking down wiring problems.

On my coach, I found dozens of cut and poked wires that had corroded due to moisture.

Just my 2 cents.

We also have a 92 breakaway. They are under the access panel on top of the dash in front of the driver. Most of the circuits use circuit breakers. These are little square (1") boxes all lined up. In front of the bed are mostly house fuses.

Yes, Gary. I now realize I was thinking about the house DC fuses.
