ISATA 3 DC schematic?

Just wonder if there is a DC schematic available for the MB Isata 3 FWS?

My new to me 2016 unit has been sitting for a week and I guess a fuse or CB let go.The batts are 100% up due to the solar.

BUT

The water pump is dead , as well as the tank monitoring system, the awning light and the inside entry lights work but not the outside.

I realize this a complex vehicle so am reluctant to start creating my own schematic.

Heck I haven't even found the Fresh water pump location yet.

Anyone have this DC inop problem , to suggest a solution?

Were going camping for the first time in this unit Monday and the bride will be unhappy pouring water into the toilet and washing dishes in the Gulf of Mexico.At Ft De Soto.

Fresh water pump is under the shower base. (If I recall). Small access panel in the lower front of the shower.

DC I'm sure we have, I'll try and take a look. All the fuses are good?

Thanks for the help. I need to get to the auto store to purchase plastic pliers to pull the modern fuses.

I know from the past metal pliers is not a good tool for removal..

I think that as so many items are missing power , water pump, HW heater control, fluids monitor panel , all in a row that perhaps a supply breaker or relay has failed.

Would be so much easier to simply reset something, perhaps just dreaming.

I also have the 2016 Isata 3 and in need of the wiring diagram. Just spent a day trying diagnose why the Solar system has never operated. Tracing the wiring revealed that the solar control connection to the coach batteries goes thru the "kitchen slide out" connection in the fuse panel. It appears that the fuse was either never installed or someone removed it prior to me. Having the correct label in the fuse panel would have saved a lot of time in troubleshooting. My next issue is to determine if the vehicle charging system is suppose to charge the coach batteries when it is running. Having the wiring diagram would be very helpful with solving these and other electrical issues. Thanks in advance for any help with this.

The coach batteries should charge off of the alternator as long as there is enough juice. I think all of that happens in the Battery Control center..right there in the step well.

Sounds like a fuse...I'd check the fuses and I'll see if I can figure out if those items are all on the same circuit.

From my engineer "That is the monitor panel fuse, it’s the pink wire inside the 120V/12V power distribution center. Its probably 15A and there should be a label."
