stabilizer jack wiring

I have a 2016 salem 26tbud

long story short.... front lippert stabilizer stopped working... issue was a pulled wire in the motor... in trying to solder back together.... fried motor - now the other stabilizer doesnt work either - so I assume i popped a fuse/breaker.

i am trying to see where wires come from - there was a green/white pair that was hot coming to the front jack - it no longer is - it connects to a purple/white pair that goes to the back - which of course is not hot either.

the green and white maybe comes from a metal box in front - (i say maybe cause its in the floor - but seems like a good assumption)
the white goes to ground.
the green is connected to 2 other greens - one goes to the trailer 7-way/truck thing other goes to wiring harnes... and into nowhere.
its odd that it goes to truck? i have never had to plug in truck to use stabilizer... but whatever...
the wire that goes into the harness - i tried to follow... looks like it also goes over to my power panel in the front where i batter test etc... and switch for slidout etc...

i thought maybe a fuse in my panel - but the green wire is not seen in there obviously.
i have 3 fuses labeled "IT" none are blown.. and are not red when i try to use stabilizer... so i think fuses fine.

the self resetting breakers by the stabilizer could be fried - but i dont even have power to that now...

so... anyone ever trace these wires?
i dont see another breaker block to check...
i guess next step is to pull out the fuse/charge box and see if i can see where that green wire even comes from.....

alternatively.... i thought of just running a new wire to the 2 stabilizers....

any thoughts?

Don't know if this will help you or not. This is pretty much the way my Salem stabilizer jacks are wired with the exception that my black power wire gets it power from the main 30 Amp automotive circuit breaker on the frame. It is not straight to the batteries. Power from the converter also flows through the J-Box to the 30 amp breaker. Be advised that the stabilizers do not have dedicated grounds. Instead, the switch just reverses polarity on the feeds to the motor to make it turn the opposite way. Hope this helps.

Interesting. this implies my idea of going directly off main hot wire on frame is not a horrible idea. I would put some sort of fuse breaker there of course.

also interesting that your diagram has the 6a breaker before the switch. my jacks have that auto reset breaker between the switch and the motor.
seems better to have just before the switch on the hot line in.
