Can not get the reverse lights to illuminate in the taillights on my 2002. Was not able to locate an individual fuse for the reverse lights. Have been checking the wires but have not located any bad connections as of yet. Blue and white wires seem to control this function and look like they are powered from the rear passengers side. I saw a few diagrams that mention a bussmann em0026 panel but have never located that one in particular. Thanks

Sorry I can't help with diagrams but something like the Fluke TS90 might work in this situation. I'm thinking of adding one to my tool box after watching this video. The device gets used around the 17 minute mark. Good luck with you troubleshooting.

Chances are the reverse lights are not on an individual fuse. They will be on a circuit with other things. In the old days there was a switch on the transmission. Today's are probably on the shiftier linkage.

Long story short on the 2002 its on the left looking at the back of the coach under the first trap door in the floor. The 15amp fuse for the reverse lights is in the panel closest to the rear of the coach EM0026 Bussmann. The one towards the front is a bussmann EM0040. Still trying to get the correct wiring from Spartan for that box. Hopefully you can see the markings from the pictures to see what back there.

Lights fixed!

Wow, clear photos!

Great post, thanks for that.

Each Bussmann had a cover? Anything remarkable to remove them?

Both had covers on them two tabs on bottom to release and two prongs on top that it hinges on, or can be removed. Again way to get to it is the first trap door in the floor on first step past bed towards rear closet.

Perfect, thanks!

I've looked under that cover before, but with all the grime covering everything, I was reluctant to do much exploring!

if you look in your engine compartment and do not see it my 2005 looking at engine it is on your left behind on the wall under you insulated cover about 16 to 20 inches square which sticks out about 3 inches
