Landing gear

I can't find schematics or a second fuse box. I have a 368rlbh, and my landing gear stopped working. It's gotta be the switch or a fuse. Any ideas on location?

Mine has an inline fuse hidden in the wire loom behind the battery. It took me a while to find it when it blew from a dead battery.

Open the front cabinet door, find the jack motor and follow the red wire.

I did all of the above. No fuse in line. The switch and the motor aren't getting power. Broken wire?

I have heard people speak of another fuse box behind the wall of the passthrough storage area behind the stairs on the hemispheres but I have not taken mine loose to verify it yet. Not sure if this fuse will be there or not.

If you try to run the front and Rear landing gear will blow the inline fuse. Fuse is located right by the battery box.

The positive wire should run straight from the battery to the switch, thru a fuse. If you traced the positive wire from the switch all the way back to the battery and didn't find a fuse then it is possible that one of the pieces of wire is a fusible link and has opened. Though I don't think I've ever heard of an RV having those.

Were there any connections/terminations between the switch and the battery?
