We have two usb ports on each side of our bed above the little cabinet. The ones on the right side(near the mirrored closet) work, but the other side does not. I can't locate the fuse for those, can anyone help? Or could it be something else?

Could be wired backwards.

Fused only if 12 volt.
If it's a regular 110/120 volt outlet with a built in usb port, it's handled by a circuit breaker.
Is it part of a regular 110/120 outlet? If so, does the outlet section work?

It will probably be a loose connection or a bad USB port. Both of the USB charging ports in the bedroom are on the same circuit breaker so if one works the other should all work.

We lost the two on the passenger side dinette. Tiffin guys repaired it at the FMCA rally under warranty. They just replaced the entire module after they checked to see if there was power to the module (there was).

The outlets are a technology called insulation displacement -the three wires are each pressed between two metal pieces and the metal cuts the insulation, making the connection. There is no backing to keep the wire from coming out. The wire can be pressed back in, shut off the breaker first.

These usb outlets are DC because the set that is working is live all the time, even when not plugged in to shore power and inverter off.
Can someone help in finding the fuse for it? It's the outlet on the left side of the bed with 2 usb slots in the outlet.

As I said above, if the one on the other side of the bed is working then it's not a circuit breaker since they are both on the same circuit. It's going to be either a wiring issue or the USB outlet itself.

yes, check the wiring. I had one stop working on mine recently so i pulled it out and one of the wires came loose. Re wired it and it still didn't work, had to get replacement from Tiffin.

I was able to pull the outlet out of the cabinet with just about 4" of slack. The wiring is fused into back of the outlet, hence no way to check for loose connection at the outlet. About 8" down the line is where the wires were spliced from the outlet to the rest of the run. Those splices seem intact. Where else is there to check for loose wires?
