This is getting better all the time... OK, tonight after work, I decided its time to figure this thing out. I got my harbor freight tone generator (works pretty good for under $20), my fluke meter, some test leads and I'm ready to go at it. I go in the camper, put the slide out, turn the lights on an go to pull the "blown" fuse out. The assumption of course is the fuse is blown because the red LED is on next to it indicating the fuse is blown. As I pull the fuse out, the living room lights go out. If you recall from the original post, this fuse is labled "living room". I check the fuse with an ohm meter, and of course the fuse is good. I put the fuse back in and now the LED is not longer lit.
I'm feeling pretty stupid right about now. But then, I remind my self, the dealer "fixed" this under waranty (twice), and this is the third time the same LED came on. I now understand why everything worked. Because nothing was broken except the blown fuse indicator.
New question.... Has anyone ever had a blown fuse indicator come on without the fuse being blown? Typically the indicator are wire right accross the fuse, so as long as the fuse is good, there is no voltage for the indicator. Fuse blown, and 12 volts is dropped across the indicator lighting it up.
