Where is the fuse box? - bluebirdfitz - 07-09-2005 07:22 Things must be gettting slow around here when all I need to do is try and fix the fantastic fan on the roof of our 78 FC31. It has never worked since we bought the coach. It is not getting power from its feed line. I know it works because I sent it power from the battery and the lights and fan both worked. My first thought is it must be a fuse, but for the life of me I can't find the fuse panel, even though my blue box says it's under the right front of the steering column. I took off the front panel and there is a great mass of wires feeding in and out of three strips, but nothing that resembles the fuse panel in my book. Any ideas? Thanks, especially to all the folks who helped me figure out my refrigerator problem last weekend. It's working great now! I'm going with one weekend, one project.

I don't know if things are the same on a 1978 Thanks Bruce Campbell Clearwater, FL 83'FCSB "Blue Skies" --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "bluebirdfitz" wrote: > Things must be gettting slow around here when all I need to do is try > and fix the fantastic fan on the roof of our 78 FC31.

Possibility in your case??

Bid on great items. http://auctions.yahoo.com/ Where is the fuse box? - Tom Warner - 07-10-2005 03:13 If you have a fantastic fan that has been installed in your coach in the last several years the fuse is on the actual fantastic fan panel as noticed by the small black fuse holder. In my 1982 FC35 I attached that fuse to the switch just over the drivers seat that was OEM installed so with that switch off there is no power to the fantastic fan. tom 1982 FC35 Vernon Center,NY At 06:08 AM 7/10/2005 -0700, you wrote: >Thanks Maury, > >I'm not quite sure what you mean by "opening button." > >--- "M.L.
