Somewhere There’s A Breaker

2019 Force HD 37TS.
The coach door lock buttons and remote have failed. I noticed a little rust on the door contacts on the bottom of the door on the hinge side, so decided to clean it up. I got a little spark while cleaning them, and after that there was no power to the touch pad, and the remote didn’t work.
I figured there must be a breaker or fuse controlling this, but couldn’t find anything that looked wrong either in the breaker box or fuse box in the bedroom. Same for the fuses in the electrical bay.
I tried turning off the master power switch, waited about a minute, and turned it back on. No luck.
I realize that sometimes a fuse may be blown without any physical evidence, but would hate to randomly remove fuses to check them.
I’d appreciate any suggestions. Is there a fuse in the door latch mechanism itself? Do I need to disassemble the mechanism?
Thanks very much and Merry Christmas.

I'm not 100% certain as I've never actually put my hands on it, but I was thinking there was an inline fuse in the loom feeding that area under the door/steps.

You are correct Mookie, buried in the loom above the door steps there is an inline fuse. I believe 5amp mini fuse.

There is also a fuse in the electrical bay that may have blown.

here is the mapping iin the electrical bay.

Thanks guys. I’ll look for that in line fuse.
Please pardon my ignorance, but… Just to be sure, when you say “loom” do you mean that plastic tube that keeps wires together and looking neat? (Like in the picture you attached).
Thanks.
