All 4 electric stabilizer jacks stopped working
I have a 2020 Rockwood Minilite 2506S with Lippert PSx2 dual motor power stabilizers. I’m camping and this am the power stabilizers worked fine when retracting. Tonight when I went to put the stabilizers down none of them work. I can not find any fuse for them and there is no fuse for them in the fuse panel. Does anyone know where the fuse would be located? Or any other idea as to why they all quit working. I’m currently having to use the manual override to extend them or retract them.
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum its a great place to get your questions answered. If all four quit at the same time its a power issue you may try looking for an inline fuse somewhere by the battery box along the frame. good luck let the forum now what you find.

As Seadog eluded to, start at the battery and work your way back until you find the short-stop/breaker/fuses and you'll likely find the problem.
The stabilizers will either have an inline fuse or a breaker like below. The little black button on the side is a reset.

On my trailer I have an auto reset breaker. It looks just like the above one but no button on the side. I did find it the first time only to find no button on it. If you find this on yours just turn off and on the main battery switch and it all works again. If that does not resolve it then go hunting for the breaker to push the button.
Don't let the stabilizers push too hard. They are not designed to lift only stabilize the rv. It will also trip if they hit the hard stop going up.

And to further add to dbledan's mention of the AUTO-reset breaker... sometimes they simply go bad from overuse and powering them off/on does not reset them. They need to be replaced.

If you stay on the switch too long after stabilizers are up, they could get stuck. I had a friend that had to use the manual override on the opposite side of the trailer to “unlock” them.

Thanks for the quick replies. I did turn off all the power both battery and electric to the unit and that did not reset. I did find what appears to be two fuses on the frame neither of which have a reset button but look similar but not the same as the picture as note in the thread. I’ll try to figure out how to attach a picture.

To make sure you don't have a blown fuse in the distribution panel, press the stabilizer switch and have someone look at the distribution panel to see if a red led lights up. The led only light up when fuse is blown and a circuit is initiated.

I found the problem. My breaker box had a poorly labeled 30 amp fuse. I pulled it and found it blown. All the other fuses have a light that comes on if the fuse blows but this one does not. Thanks for all the suggestions! I’ve learned how to use the form, and also about auto reset breakers. Always learning, Gregg

Thanks for letting us know what it was.
As differently as these things are wired (and plumbed) it's almost impossible to say "hey, go look here and see if that fuse is blown".
It's good that it was an easy fix, even if you had to do a little searching and investigating to find it.

Stabilizer Jacks
I have a 2015 Rockwood w/ electric stabilizers.
Besides the main 30 amp reset fuse at the tongue of my trailer I believe I have 2 12v fuses connected to my stabilizers in my fuse/circuit breaker box inside my cabin. One is a 15 amp fuse that's labeled for the tv and not labeled for the stabilizers and the other is a 30 amp fuse also in the fuse box not labeled as such. I had to remove the top 2 screws to drop the frame of the fuse box to access the 30 amp fuse.

I also have the PSx2 stabilizers and am troubleshooting the auto reset circuit, which for me, keeps going off every 10-15 seconds, draws a lot of current off the battery, but then resets before it blows any fuses. Right now, the only way I can have power to the trailer is by removing both 12V power leads to the reset circuit. At least my fridge and AC are working, but this has also disconnected/disabled my awning and slide, so I can't get my murphy bed down with the slide still in.
I'm adding a wiring photo for reference so others can see how the PSx2 motors are wired to the battery with the relay switches.
