Hi - I have blown the fuse for the USB tap on the driver's left side panel (the one under the window) on a DS4369. It's actually a 12 volt line that is changed to 5 volts at the USB plug. I've checked everyplace and haven't found the one for it.

If you know where to look please help me out. Nothing else has gone out so it likely is on it's own fuse.
Thanks.
Tom

It may be an in-line fuse. I’m not sure how to remove the usb outlet or the panel it is in.

The power for the USB comes from a chip controlled circuit in the outlet itself. The outlet has the electronics built in. I don’t think there is a reset.

Hi - Thanks for the responses so far. I checked for an inline fuse and I found none. The line up to the USB is a 12 volt line and that line is dead. The USB head is fine. Actually I am replacing the USB head so as to have a cigar type 12 volt available in that location for my GPS. I shorted the 12 volt wire and blew the fuse.

Tom look in this link for the 2006-07 or 2010-11 link for fusing and wiring. It may describe what your looking for or the fuse maybe a ACC accessory fuse or builders fuse.
Here is a Newmar search may help.

Ricci · 02-18-2018, 03:23 PM

Thanks 007. I read through the links but no joy yet. So far I have jumped every fuse in the two panels in the under the driver electrical bay. Also jumped every fuse in the 1/2 bath panel. So either it is an inline fuse buried who knows where or there is another small fuse panel somewhere in an unpublished location. Because nothing else has stopped working it is likely a hidden in line fuse. Time to contact a Newmar tech with fingers crossed. Once I find it I will post for others in a similar situation. In the meantime I'm hoping that some else has faced this dilemma.

There is a fuse panel on mine for dash electrical. Located in the outside compartment where you release the latch for the front hood.
I misunderstood and thought it was one of the 120 v usb outlets.

Try replacing fuse F15 for the 12volt outlet.
Mine had a bad fuse that looked ok and did not light up the LED replaced it and worked

Ricci · 02-18-2018, 07:01 PM

Hi - Thanks Winepress. Yes, it's just a 12 volt line and the USB drops it to 5 volt. I have jumped every fuse on every panel I can find and no luck. Thanks for the help.
Rtspence - Thanks also. Just to be sure I swapped the F15 and no joy. Somewhere they must have put an in-line fuse as nothing else is inoperative. The connect was good until I decided to drop the connector and short it out. Sure wish Newmar gave us electrical diagrams!

Tom,
Thanks for the responses. Looking forward to seeing the solution.

Do you have a 12VDC fuse panel in the half bath for house?

Dutch Star Don · 02-18-2018, 08:57 PM

"Ricci"....I don't know if you checked, but those two black boxes in side the front bay, under the driver's window, also have fuses in them. I diagrammed those and my diagram shows two accessory fuses in there.

Ricci · 02-19-2018, 08:01 AM

Hi - Again thanks for all the responses and suggestions. I have jumped every fuse in the basement electrical bay below the driver and also the 1/2 bath fuses. (By jumped I mean removed the fuse and jumped the fuse with a wire). However they wired the accessory panel to the left of the driver the wire is not fused at the usual panels. I have a request in at Newmar for clarification so I'll see how that goes. If all else fails I'll tap off another line. It's always the simple stuff that....
