Electric stabilizers won't work

2015 Wildwood X-lite 262BHXL. Pulled into our site this weekend and the stabilizers won't go down. Both front and rear. No sound. Battery is fully charged and electric jack works. Thinking a fuse or something? Found some info on other sites but does anybody have an idea? Thanks.

Check the current limiting circuit breaker by your battery, normally resetable.

Check for burnt fuse in distribution panel visually....don't rely on red led. Another way to check is to press electric stabilizer switch (up or down) and have someone check distribution panel at same time, if red led lights up, then that fuse is burnt open.

What does the current limiting circuit breaker look like? Is that under the tongue?

It seems like I found another fuse panel hidden once but now I have no clue (new to this so slowly learning). The main fuse panel under the the bunk has nothing labeled for the battery.

Follow your positive battery cable from your battery down under camper.

If your unit came with the remote control and it was used on the stabilizers, try using the remote to extend them. Sometimes the remote and control panel do not "talk" to each other. Just a thought.........................

Just had one of those trip and not reset. Had to replace it. The local auto parts store had the correct one in stock. About $4.

Stabilizers dont work

Do you have the remote control feature? On our 27RLS I had incorrectly raised when they were full up, it blew a fuse at the "MUX" box that disabled the switches on the body (the remote function worked?) replaced the 20 amp fuse and all is well. BTW the MUX controller box w/fuses was located under the refer.

We had that problem on our 5th wheel and there was a tiny fuse in a wire on the wall behind the battery in the front storage compartment that we never would have found if the service manager didn't tell us about it.

Half the problem

My problem is all most the same, my front stabilizers work but not the rear I have tried to locate the fuse but no luck so far. I have a 2011Rockwood signature ultra lite model 8317RKSS. Any idea where that fuse is locate?

Did you get it worked out? If so, would you care to share with us?

The fuse is most likely located under the tongue near the battery

In the Rockwood 8289 WS Fifth Wheel the reset-able circuit breaker is located behind the switch in the back. To gain access you have to take the cabinet apart.

So I tried the remote today (didn't have AAA batteries this weekend) and it worked. Now I have to see if the switches on the wall work. Thank you everybody for all the responses! I'm sure I'll have plenty more questions.

Ok so the remote works but the switches on the outside wall don't. Makes me think nothing to do with the battery but something else?

I had a similar issue with the landing gear on our RV. It turned out to be a fuse near the battery had blown. Since the remote feed is separate from the manual switch, the remote would operate them but the manual switch wouldn't.

P.S. I found a loose connection on the Short-Stop breaker, and that's what was causing the fuses to blow.
