FR Wildcat 295 RSX Electrical issue
My 2015 FR Wildcat 295 RSX 12V system suddenly quit working. I just replaced the battery with a new fully charged battery. Now none of the 12V items work EXCEPT the slideouts. I have double checked that my battery shutoff switch is engaged and all of the 12V breakers are intact. I read in a couple of other threads here about a main 12V breaker near the battery. Going back over to storage to see if I can find one now. But why would the slideouts still work?

12V Electrical problem solved
Thanks to all the previous posts about electrical systems failures, I was able to solve my problem. I found the 12V master breakers, 2 of them, that I didn't know I had . One was tripped and resetting that one solved my issue. I didn't trace the electrical, but since I found 2 breakers I'm assuming the slideout motors work on one circuit and the rest of the electric like lights, control panel, fridge, radio, etc. work on another which likely answers my question about why the slideouts worked and nothing else did.

Exactly where did you find these "12V master breakers, 2 of them, that I didn't know I had"? Asking for a friend!

My guess is close to the battery. one for the house and one for the slide and the landing gear.

In my 5th wheel trailer, the landing gear and slides have their own fuses because they are connected to a 12-volt bus that connects directly to the battery and before the battery disconnect switch. I suspect your trailer is wired similarly and that explains why you had power to your slides while other things were inoperative. I too am interested in where the ones you found are located.

Many slides are wired directly to the battery via a separate fuse and are not connected with the 12V distribution panel.
