Help! - Pump Fuse Blown on slide/leveler system

[Matt1616]

I beleive I have a blown 5 AMP pump fuse on the control box for my HWH 310 Series leveler/extension system in my Adeventurer 35U. Changing the fuse should be easy enough except the darn control box is buried behind a sea of cables and I cannot get to it. Is there a trick to gettign that cursed thing out....Do I have to take the dash apart? After a couple of hours and several bloody knuckles later I wanted to ask the forum if anyone else has had the same problem and how did you get access to the control box. Trying to prep for a trip down South on Sunday and the slide is sticking out about 1 inch and can't get it back in.

Any comments and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Before pulling the dash apart, check the push "button" control for a loose ground (black wire in harness) HWH uses push in crimps to hold the wire and if the black ground wire is loose the system does not work,,,usually no lights to the control display or the lights are all on or all blink....Controller screws off the wall or door panel and the connector is visible on the rear of the controller....just press in all the wires and then try the system....hope this might help....if not try checking 12volt power at the pump etc...A call to HWH can guide you thru the testing....good luck on trying to get access to the fuse.......RKL

Matt1616: On my Brave, there are two fuses for the HWH system in the driver's area. And I know other friends' Adventurers were the same, so try this:
One is the 15A blade fuse in the Workhorse fuse box labeled "Radio/Accessory". Lift up your dash and you'll see the WH fuse box (the other smaller fuse box nearby is put in by Winnebago). Winnie ran the power for the HWH system through the Workhorse 15A Accessory fuse.
The other fuse is a 5A blade fuse, and it's in an individual fuse holder ("in-line") by itself, buried within the cables running down from the dash by the driver's left foot area thru the floor. This is best accessed by standing outside the coach and looking in from the driver's door. You have to spread the various trunks of cable apart. I believe the 5A fuse was buried in a big trunk, behind the black corrugated plastic sheath.

On my coach, unfortunately the driver's electric window, the HWH jacks, the radio, and my air horns were all energized from the same 15A fuse on the dash. Unfortunately, I learned you cannot power up/down the window and run the jacks at the same time; it blows the fuse. -I'd like to take some of the loads off that fuse and redistribute, but haven't gotten round tuit.
