2016 Salem 230BHXL Front Stabilizing Jacks not working

[RichIndiana]

This weekend was our first camping trip in our new trailer. Everything worked great except the front electric stabilizing jacks. Does anyone know where the fuses for the jacks are located for this model? While I'm on this topic, where are the fuses for the slide out and awning? I do not see any of these marked on the fuse panel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just earlier today I found all mine. Under the fridge by the water pump. They were in a little electrical distribution centre. All marked. I'll get a picture tomorrow for you if you like. As for the jacks. Mine wernt working either. ( fronts). Switch was bad. So as long as your other set is working is start there as long as you're getting power to the switch.

Thanks Domtherrien. Yes, if it would not be too much trouble to post a picture, that would help me know what I'm looking for. I do not have an access panel under the fridge, but I'll look for the water pump.

I'll get it put up asap. Till then if you get a chance see if the panels below the sink come off. Maybe under there.

Follow the positive battery cable to the resettable circuit breakers under the red covers.

Thanks Domtherrien. I really appreciate the picture. I'll look under the sink, stove and fridge. There must be an access panel there for the water pump. I'll let you know what I find. Thanks again.

Not a problem keep us posted.

The picture Domtherrien posted is for the remote control receiver. There are also other fuses for the manual switches. They should be close to the battery or the motors.

P.S. Our remote receiver is under the oven.

I know I have my main distribution centre and this unit. I didn't know of any others. I found my main tongue fuse in line. As well as those "resettable" units by the stab switch.

But today after putting in the new switch I found I had no power through that. So I soldered and heat shrunk inline fuse holders instead of that.

Not impressed with old setup for Canadian weather.
Trailer is less than a year old and already having electrical issues.
I plan on doing a better upgrade that is more weather proof than this.

Here is the response from a customer service rep for Salem:
The fuses on the multi-function circuit board are located behind the electrical distribution panel. You will have to remove the fuse panel and check the fuses on the board . The tongue jack has a fuse located on the jack itself on the wire that goes to the battery.

I found the problem. It was not a fuse at all. I followed the wires from the stabilizing jack motor up into the bottom of the trailer and began slowly pulling them out. I pulled out a red wire that was not connected to anything. I continued pulling and out came a wire with the auto reset fuse attached, but there was no wire on one of the bolts. I put the red wire on the bolt, hit the switch and the jack works. I found a nut and lock washer that fit the bolt and tightened it on.
Sooo.. apparently the nut was never put on or it was removed for some reason.. New trailer mind you...
