351 Georgetown jack panel

I have a 351 Georgetown that the panel for the Jack's is dead we reset the outside breaker and it was not tripped so I was wondering if there's an inline fuse somewhere to the actual panel??

I must ask a few questions which may help you.

1. Is the parking brake set firmly?

2. Sometime if you run the engine which power the panel helps if engine battery is low.

3. Have you checked the voltage of your coach batteries lately?
If they are weak it helps to be plugged into shore power or have your generator running if parked at your house.

4. Have you checked to see if the battery charger is still working and is plugged in?

5. Do you get any lights on the front control panel?

6. Are the jacks down and slides out now?

7. Do you have the manual for the system? They have a great troubleshoot chart.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Good luck.

Zero lights on the panel. That's why I think it's a fuse. Or a panel that has died

I think the panel gets power from the fuse panel below and to the left of the steering wheel. Not sure which one but if it is blown that means the control panel has a short in it.

Did it happen after driving and ready to set up or what?

That is why I asked the other questions above.

I would check the parking brake switch to make sure it is plugged in and still working.

Happened to me the fuse blow in the firewall panel and found out the power window shade wires were worn through and shorted. Same fuse for the jack control panel

Did you tape up the wires or have to get a new shade motor?

I took the shade apart and cut more of a relief in the plastic for the wires around the motor, soldered the wires back together. Then drilled a hole in the side of the mounting bracket to run the wires through. There was just not enough room before between the shade and the mounting bracket.
