Tail light fuse

I was hooking up a lose wire on a car dolly when I hit a bolt with the wire end which knocked out the tail lights on my Solera. I've looked at the fuses in the sewer compartment and under the dash and drivers seat also the fuses in the panel under the oven. Question does any one know of an in line fuse some where under the rig? Or any suggestions on the problem?

Not for certain, but I remember this subject about a year ago. Similar conditions and I recollect a circuit board mounted near the tail lights containing fuses and controls near the tail and stoplights furnished by the chassis manuf. Sort of hidden place behind a panel. Maybe pm BClemmons, think he was involved in the solution.

Vince, that has been addressed in the Solera forum. Seach: tail light solera. In frf. You will find the location of the board behind a panel in the driverside aft sanitary bay.

Is it possible the board fried.. Can you rig that bypass from the trailer hitch connection as one of the Solera owners did, when their lights went out.

If that little arc fried the broad then FR needs to look into it. A fuse should blow before the broad fries.

Problem solved , finally got a day that I could look at it. Using a test light started checking fuses in the sewer compartment and found the one that had blown. Replaced it and every things working fine.
