Need Your Help With 12v Fuses
The chicken scratching on the 12v fuse labels in very difficult to read. I have traced all of the fuses except two. This is what I have found:
- AC controls
- Bath fan & Lt
- Refrig
- TV Bedroom
- Wall Lts LR
- Lts @ bed
- CO2 sniffer
- Furnace
- Fantastic fan @ entry
- Water pump and water heater LP control switches
- Kitchen overhead Lts
- Fan & Lt over stove
- Porch & flood Lts
- Overhead Lts at stove and under cabinet
- Bedroom overhead Lts
There are 2 fuses that I can not trace
- ODS ( I think that is what it says)
- DS or PS (can't tell which)
Any idea what they may go to?
Thanks!!

ODS Off Door Side
DS Door Side
They are probably the fuses for wiring along the roadside and the curbside of your trailer. Likely including the light in the storage compartment, possibly a 12 VDC plug in the storage compartment, scare lights, porch lights, awning (?) and awning lights (?)...

Good suggestions but I have both fuses removed and every 12v light works (interior, exterior and in garage) as do fans, TV, and control panels.

I found three of my fuses that were not labeled. Discovered that one of the unlabeled circuits was for the canopy. Still not sure of what the other two might be

Excellent suggestion. We have not used the stereo/cd player but looking behind them it looks as though they are all 110v. Do they also operate on DC?

Our awning is manual. Might just have to wait till we head to Florida and actually live in it this October.

Lic0rice, Howdy;
What is the amp. rating on the fuses you can not figure out.
I didn't see anything related to the slide(s) or the front jacks
in your laundry list of whats-what.

I checked the stereo equipment and it is all AC but not original equipment. I will search tomorrow for terminated DC wires in that area.
Slides and landing gear work with the fuses out. All my fuses are 15amp. Pulled the panel and found that the:
ODS = purple/white wire
DS = light green/white wire
Can't find a RV 12volt color code ....just for marine wiring.

Are the two fuses a bit left of the row? And maybe 40A? If so they are the reverse polarity fuses.

After a good night's sleep , I started from scratch and determined what the two fuses protect. DS=light over dinette & sofa ; ODS=Outside light to the right of the forward storage compartment.
Don't know how I missed it yesterday, but now they are all correctly labeled.
I did discover that the wiring for the landing gear and slide motors does not go thru the DC panel. They both have in-line fuses.
Thanks for your suggestions
