2020 Dutch Star Hose Reel Fuse location?

[Tilzbow]

Does anyone know where I might find the fuse for the water hose reel, assuming it exists? I’ve checked all the fuse and circuit breaker panels I’m aware of and haven’t been able to find it.

It might be an inline fuse in the water bay or in the same panel in the water bay your water pump is on. Was that way on my MA. Can't say your newer DS is the same, but might be worth a look there.

Check out behind your power cord. I think it's Fuse B8

Thanks! I see all of that but I don’t see any traditional fuses for any of the “B” circuits in that area. So should I assume those B circuits are breakers that should automatically reset unless the one for the hose reel has gone bad?

My hose reel stopped working and per my volt meter there’s no power to the wires connected to it.

I replaced the breaker and there’s still no power to the hose reel. Anyone have any ideas?

I'd suggest using a voltmeter to test both sides of the B9. If both show +12VDC then go to where power connects to your hose reel and test there, at the switch, then at the motor with the switch engaged... After engaging the switch, check both sides of B9 again to ensure there isn't a short past the switch or in the motor that pops B9.

Best,

Problem identified! The ground wire for the hose reel was loose near the ground point on the other side of the water compartment. Damn water pump installer pulled it out of the connector it shares with the pump ground when he changed the leaking water pump prior to departure

I’ve got to have a talk with that idiot . Okay, talk done! Now the idiot gets to take off the water panel at a future stop so the ground wire can be repaired. I need to fire that guy after that and hire better help….

On a serious note, thanks to all for the help and advice.
