Electrical Issue in our 2009 Fuzion 403

We brought our 5th wheel out of storage for the season this weekend and discovered we have no power going to the Hot Water Heater Switch in the bathroom/ the Thermostate or the lights in the slide. We keep blowing a 15amp fuse in the number 9 slot of the fuse box. It is our understanding no wiring diagram is available. We did isolate one red/white wire that gets very hot to the touch if we put a 30am fuse in the 15 amp fuse spot.
Any suggestions?

First, please be careful when troubleshooting electrical problems. It's never a good idea to use a higher amperage fuse than you're supposed to--you could cause a fire by overheating that wire. Use a meter to trace voltage or remove power and use the resistance setting on the meter to trace and TS your problem. If you don't know enough to understand what I am talking about, you probably should call a professional.

Second, I would suspect a pinched and partially shorted wire since the circuit includes the lights in the slide. Look under the slide and check the wire feeding into the slide. Measure voltage and/or check continuity between the breaker and the light. Check for short to ground. Look for pinched or damaged wires around the slide mechanisms.

I have a 2009 Fuzion 302 and I'm guessing the slide wiring is pretty close to the same.

Sounds like a short to ground. If you are not comfortable trouble shooting 12vdc wiring, get it to your dealer's repair shop.

(FWIW, none of us know what the #9 fuse slot is on anyone else's trailer. Perhaps telling us what the label on that fuse says would be more relevant.)
