Hello,

I'm hoping someone can assist in identifying or tracing wire for exterior entertain radio on a 2018 Fleetwood Flair 31e.

There are two 12v wires on the radio:

a. 12v+ wire for ignition - red wire (has voltage)
b. 12v+ wire for radio memory - yellow wire (no voltage present)

Both wires need power for the radio to activate.

Problem: radio doesn't power up. No voltage for yellow wire present.

Checks performed:

a. every fuse "visible" checked and tested
b. inline fused on yellow wire checked and tested

Yellow wire that doesn't have power has an inline fused. The fuse is good. The yellow wire leads to a white wire labeled "rad mem". There is no power in this wire and there should be.

I read the schematics...honestly I can't seem to figure it out. I tried tracing the wire as far as I could...there must be some fuse on it that is buried. This is my suspicion.

I'm hoping that someone can assist.

Have you checked that the radio works when both 12v(+) are connected to a good source? Before expending too much energy on tracing the wire, I'd make sure the radio works. A new 12v(+) wire to the radio memory can always be run. It most likely runs to the 12v house batteries and doesn't go through the battery disconnect solenoid. Not sure why the other wire goes to the ignition switch, you wouldn't leave the ignition on ACC to listen to it. That wire should just be connected to the house fuse panel.

Thank you for the reply.

Yeah, the radio works perfectly with both 12v +.

I checked every fuse I could see. I was even able to get under the bunks were huge wire harnesses are...tested every fuse...nada.
