Light on in fuse box

In this day and age of technology and cheap printers you'd think a label sheet would be created for each build (with all it's electrical circuits) and sent to the installer so a typed label could be put next to each fuse/circuit breaker. Just exactly how much does a sheet of "Avery Labels" cost?

One of my "to do's" is to borrow my son's label maker and mark each circuit in my power distribution panel with legible markers. If one wanted to go the extra mile (on an afternoon with nothing else to do) they could use a label maker and mark each outlet and appliance with the appropriate circuit breaker/fuse number. That would have the added benefit of letting one know which outlets are on the same breaker so they don't plug in too much load (like hair dryer, curling iron, and heater, all on the same circuit),

Search Amazon for power panel or circuit breaker box labels. There are a few preprinted ones available. Granted, they are based on home use but most are usable for RV use.

The labelling of circuits is done by Forest River when the unit is wired/being wired. The electrician has some pre-printed labels to throw on the fuse and circuit breaker panels. There is also a WFCO label with fuse number and stub wire color.

On my 2 Forest River A-frames I have found the circuit labelling to be pretty accurate, although only some of the devices on a circuit are included. When I replaced the entire panel with a PI unit, I re-labeled the panels and made a master list on my computer, complete with panel wire stub and FR wire stripe color for that circuit.

I’m using a mobile and can’t seem to see where I can post a new thread so I’ll post my question here as it is similar.

I have a 2015 Flagstaff 26FKWS and notice a light on on the 30 amp fuse circuit, 2nd from the bottom on the right side of the panel. I am assuming that the light indicates that the fuse is blown. It is labeled HHT but I’m not sure what it controls (tank heater?). I can’t see where anything else is not working.

Like that "Color Code" idea.

HHT usually is "Heated Holding Tanks"

Yep, that's the fuse blown signal for the Heated Holding Tanks. 30a fuse is blown or the circuit is disconnected somewhere and the power panel thinks the fuse is blown. Probably the fuse.

Here's mine. But the fuse is OK.

Led is essentially bypassed when fuse is good. Will.only light if fuse is bad, not because circuit is open on either side of fuse.

When fuse blows power then flows through led lighting it. Rest of time it's shorted and can't light.
