Location of the fuse on the stabilizer jacks for a Isata 3RW
Went out for a short 2 day trip for the first time flat towing our Kia Soul. Got to the CG with no drama, but went to extend the stabilizer jacks and nothing happens. Looked at the fuse panel and couldn't find a fuse or breaker for them. Any suggestions on where to look or other things to trouble shoot. TIA

My trailer is nothing like your Isata, but I'd look near your battery. Sometimes smaller wires come off the positive post and operate slide-outs and jacks. My jack fuse blew often if I held the switch too long.

Thanks, I looked there earlier and didn't see anything obvious, but will take another look.

Mr. Dan, did I post this in the wrong place? I'm surprised I didn't get any other responses.

Right spot, I just didn't get a chance to ask anyone today.
You can rule out a Breaker, in that they are 12V. It might have been run with something else. Did you have the key off and out?
I seem to think the fuse was in the BCC (which is the little door in the side of the metal step well) but I am not 100% sure. Might try and see if there is an in-line fuse right at the jack wiring, or behind the switch.

Motor homes often have safety switches which prevent slides and jacks from being extended unless the parking brake is set (and so on) You might have a problem in that circuit. Or shove the brake pedal down a little bit more.

No... Brian's right. You posted in the correct sub-forum.

Thanks Brian, I'll look back by the jacks to see if there is an inline fuse there. I did look in the little door in the side of the step well, but didn't look really close due to all the warnings about disconnecting the batteries before digging in there. So I'll take another look there too. I haven't looked behind the switch so I'll take a look there tomorrow too.

Wanderer44, thanks for the reply. Brian C doesn't seem to think it's a circuit breaker. I looked under the step and didn't see anything labeled for the jacks there, but certainly will take another look.

In mine you lift the top of the step so might be you don't have that. My step is held down by two rubber straps like a jeep hood! Then in there are 4 12 volt circuit breakers! Yours is probably not like that like Brian says, but the walkaround told and showed me these breakers and told me one was for the jacks! NOTHING IS LABELED SO I HAD TO TAKE HIS WORD!!!! My 2 house batteries are located under the hinged step top!!!

My house batteries are located there too and I don't have any labels there either. I'll check all the suggestions out tomorrow to see if I can find the fuse.

Oooh, don't be so sure I know what I am talking about. There are a few nooks and crannies I never get in to. Every sprinter I have taken out has had the 4 point jacks. So the stabilizers I am not as familiar as I should be.

What he said, my 2016 has an 80A circuit breaker on the back right side of the step well. Its behind the right battery. Do you have the hydraulic stabilizers, think they are Bigfoot.
