Fuse Location
Need some help locating a fuse....
Installed a new condenser fan assembly when fan came off shaft of old assembly on my 2008 Berkshire.....
Once installed, fan won’t turn on....
Tech on Freightliner Helpline said he was “relatively” sure the old unit blew a 25amp fuse and suggested multiple locations where it might be located - firewall in gen compartment, inside dash area accessed by removing panel on top of dash, in converter compartment, and in fuse compartment on drivers side...,
Checked all those locations and no fuse...
I’m at a loss... Been searching for the dang thing for weeks.... Hate to have a new $245 fan assembly that I can’t get to work - plus I have no dash AC....
Any ideas?????

Not sure on the 08 and I was looking up XC chassis. From what I saw there are panels in the Hydraulic basement compartment in rear of coach up high unlabled. The other option sounds like one of his, outside front bay under the drivers seat.
Where did you find panels but no fuse for it?
Best of luck.

Thanks..... I'll check that compartment but not sure why they'd run the condenser fan line 40' to the rear of the coach when fan is underneath the coach under the driver's seat.... I find it amazing the FR hasn't a clue where they run fuse lines.... You'd think they'd have something on file for all their coaches...
Granted, I don't have one of the newer rigs but I still take pride in mine and like to be able to take care of it....

Yea I thought the same thing. That rear panel is likely just for trailer lighting but figured you did not look there yet so I would include it just in case and maybe you see something to look for in another compartment.
If the Dash AC is out it would be Freightliner I would think but who knows.
Freightliner is pretty good about the chassis diagrams with most of them posted including where all the connectors are.
FR just wires each one differently with inline fuses everywhere and no documentation that I can easily find.
Good luck!

Talked at length with Freightliner.... They deliver the chassis to FR with condenser assembly installed and the two-pronged plug hanging there for FR when they install the AC.... Which means - no one has any idea where this dang fuse is located!!!!!

If it was me at this point I'd run a temporary feed with an in line fuse.....
Then keep looking but without the urgency you have now.......
If you really want to get serious... I've been known to rig a car horn with the plus to a battery, then a car horn and then connect to the, in this case fan end of the wiring, and then a 20 foot wire from the negative with a pointy probe on the other end. Basically a continuity tester on steroids.
Turn EVERYTHING off and start probing until the horn goes off.
You MAY very well have touched it a few times already and it LOOKED ok but it wasn't.
FWIW mine is under the drivers window in one of the "three" blocks.

So what's in the Iota panels?
I know you're a different model, but here's where mine is:
