Where is the fuse for the Capt chairs

Can't find the fuses for the drivers & pass Capt chairs. 2006 Ventana.
Also, does anyone know if the ground goes thru the switch or is each motor
internally grounded. Drivers seat quite working, did a mickey mouse ground at the ground wire at the rear of the seat to the metal base, and seat worked for some time. Had rig re-carpeted (came out BEAUTIFUL), but I think the installers blew the fuses for the chairs. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry I can't help, with a fuse or circuit breaker, location on your coach for your chairs.
But the reversing power motors on the seats are controlled through the switch . Each motor has two wires and the switch supplies one with power and the other with ground, according to the direction called for.
External ground.

Can't be specific about your coach but on ours the fuses for the chairs are in the electronics bay. Hope this helps

There may be a fuse in the wiring under the chair. Also double check the
connectors down there ,or a wire may have pulled out of a connector due to stress when the chair was turned.
Check if you have INCOMING power ( +/- 12VDC) from the floor!

Most times the wiring in plugs become loose if chairs are over turned and its only a matter of reconnecting the wiring in plugs. When disconnecting plugs do not pull wiring only the plugs themselves.

Don't know if yours is the same as mine but here is a pic of my fuses in the front basement compartment on the drivers side. 1st and 2nd fuse in the second column from the left.

Nope, my board doesn't look anything like that. I also checked every fuse in that compartment and all are good, and none are labeled as seat power. Thanks for the input though!

Page # 12 of this link shows two locations where the fuses maybe located.
Wiring and fuse locations do not change that much on most Newmar model years.

Fuse location

Here all this time I was looking for an auto type fuse, then I opened my eyes, and right on the facing wall was a row of circuit breakers mounted directly on the wall. And one was labeled Power Seats. Cost about 6 bucks to fix the problem. Thanks guys.
