Girard Awning motion sensors

Both Girard awning motion sensors inop. Newmar had me contact Girard. After discussion with Girard specialist we agree it must be a power source issue, a 12V fuse. Unfortunately, Girard does not know where Newmar places this fuse in coach.
Have checked in half bath, fuse compartment (beneath driver) and external power cord compartment with no luck.
Has anyone had this issue- found the fuse?

P.S. Motion sensors worked fine until recently, so I know they are wired correctly.

Motion sensors are wireless. You can check to see if the sensors are getting 12v at the sensor plug on the awning. Click image for larger version

Thank you Winepress and Mbrooking. The fuse indeed is in the half bath...thanks. Fuse is good. After conversation with Girard tech, the fix is to re-program both motion sensors. Similar to re-programming a wireless garage door opener. Pretty straight forward but it is a 2 person job; one person on the awning at sensor and one person in basement at the control box.
Thanks again for your info.
