JABuyer · 06-07-2015, 01:31 AM

Can someone identify for me what the following inline fuses go to

All are located by the coach batteries.

On the left side on battery each connected to the positive terminal
1)On blue wire with 5AMp fuse label on fuse holder. Fuse holder is blue.
2)On green wire wire with 25Amp label on fuse holder. Fuse holder is green.
3)On blue wire with 15Amp label on fuse holder. Fuse holder is blue.

On the right side on battery
1)On yellow wire with 5Amp fuse. Fuse holder is red
2)On blue wire with 5Amp fuse.

Thanks
Paul

I can understand your questions, we recently purchased a 2015 25ds, sure wish Forest River would give you an accurate owners manual, ours is plain generic???

I know the yellow with the 15 amp is the house radio. Had to replace that one.

Positive terminals:
1) 02 sensor
2) electric steps
3) awning
You should double check this by removing the fuse and see if the item I think it is does not work.
I Don't even want to guess at the others.

The 5 amp one is the antenna booster on mine.

After you figure them out clearly label them for future

Take a look at Page one of the attached drawing.
These drawings apply to the our FR3, not sure if they apply to the new ones.

This does show battery control center interconnects but does not address inline fuses connected directly to the battery stud.

Albert, Great PDF files for the wiring. It is probably close to mine..

I have a 2014 FR3 25ft and the cab right side cigar lighter (aux 12V) is dead. I am sure it is a fuse, but have no idea where the fuse panel is. Anyone know? Apparently the dealer nor FR knows either, since they won't return calls.

winojoe · 06-18-2015, 03:37 AM

The fuse is attached to the wire that runs from the lighter directly behind it

Jim Schings · 06-18-2015, 01:55 PM

Thanks. You are correct. Found it.

winojoe · 06-18-2015, 02:10 PM

No problem! Had the same thing myself a couple weeks back took a while to find.

Telcoman · 06-20-2015, 09:41 AM

These drawings were on a previous post and contains good information about numerous items related to the FR3. Includes some electrical and plumbing and other items.

Hi, I'm hoping someone can tell me where the fuse for the backup/sideview cameras and monitor is on a 2015 FR3 30DS. I'm gettin no power to the monitor. The fuses are maddening, when the panels say "See Owner's Manual" and there is nothing in the owner's manual. It's like a sick joke.
Any help would be so appreciated!

Open up the radio dash and find the 8 or 15 pin monitor connector from camera multiplexer to the monitor. I suspect it has come loose.

As for fuses there are three places u will find fuse blocks in addition to those in line at the battery posts.

1. The battery control box above the dual batteries. Mentioned above
2. There are mini fuses under the dash far left down by the e brake. Try to reach them! For me to get to those I have to slide the drivers seat back recline it, lift the steering wheel and slide down upside down to reach them. I have no idea what those control, but they are all live. I suspect windshield wipers washer flashers and cruise.
3. The fr3 has a master fuse block on the outside of the fire wall in a plastic box behind the grille center. Those are listed in the F53 ford manual.

TechoRick, thank you! This list every single fuse in the front end and under steering wheel! Money! I will be printing the F53 Ford Motorhome chasis manual from my binder! I will figure the camera monitor out and let you know. It was just replaced befote this trip.

Our electric step switch is not working to keep the steps down. Any ideas?

Thanks so much!

Bringing home the new 30DS from Florida to Virginia, the Pioneer radio console with the Camera video powered down half way on the trip and wouldn't turn back on. When we finally got home, we found the AC, Microwave and all 3 TV's are also without power. The documentation from the dealer is considerably lacking any details on what fuses to look at or where they might be. Anyone know which fuse would support all of these and where it is?

Thanks - "Nubee RV owner" :-)

FReedom3 · 10-07-2015, 06:42 PM

Sounds ike you tripped the main breaker, in bedroom, below rear closet, farhest to the rear.

DreamCatcherVA · 10-07-2015, 08:41 PM

I thought so as well. but all the breakers are in the up position. I flipped all down and back up to be sure. but no change.

SEGV · 10-07-2015, 10:10 PM

I'm not sure about the radio - i'm having that replaced on my 2016 28DS, because it died as well..

You didn't mention it, but I assume you were either on shore power or had the generator running? There is no inverter on the FR3s - you wouldn't be able to run them (or any AC-powered device) purely on battery power.

Them = Microwave, the rooftop AC, the 120v wall plugs, etc.
