Question Exhaust fan and light

My exhaust fan and light will not turn on. None of the breakers are tripped and of course none of them are labeled for the exhaust fan and light.

The breakers are for 120 VAC. Your light and fan are 12 VDC. Check the 12 volt fuses.

Yep fan and light are 12v and have fuses.
Breakers are for 110v items.

I assume you are talking about the stove top fan and light? If so, there is an internal fuse in the center of fan that will stop the fan and light from working. At least that is the case on my FR Coachman.

There is some degree of disassembly to get to this uncommon looking fuse. The purpose of the fuse is to prevent run away fires caused by leaving the burners on with no pans or pots on the burner.

Hello. Welcome to RV'ing. This forum is a wonderful place for help and exchange of information.

Helps to lead with what year, make, and model of your rig.

Good luck and most of all, have fun.
