Brake lights not working

Found out the other day that my 2003 Monaco Knight lost its left turn signal, brake lights and tail lamps. Found the fuses to the left turn signal and tail lamps were blown. I suspect that it is from a short in my trailer.

I cant seem to find the fuse for the brake lights? Can someone point me in the right direction or is there something else I need to look at?

Thank you in advance for your help

Brake fuse is often in fuse block with the other chassis functions.

The trailer lights are usually connected through a converter box in the rear of the rig. If the trailer had a short it would cause the converter box to go bad.
Your brake light fuse should be in the same place as your blinder and tail light.
The only place all three connections meet is at the converter box. I'd disconnect the box and see if everything works. Then check the trailer lights for a short.

They must have hid the fuse because I cant seem to find it amongst the blinker and tail lamps.

I will check the converter in the morning and see what that does. I have checked all the fuses in the "Monaco 3" (left front bay under the driver seat area) and I have checked the "Monaco 4" (right rear bay). They all seem to be intact. Here is what I got out of the manual:

So after searching I found this stupid little three slot fuse holder. God forbid we put them all together. Sure enough, blown fuse. .

Thank you for the help. Now I need to narrow down where it shorted out and believe it was from my enclosed trailer since it blew the fuses on my truck too

The fuse was outside all of the fuse boxes and is located in the lower right corner of the above picture. This fuse bay is located on the left front bay/ under the driver seat.

Fuses and locations, I've found 4 locations for chassis fuses and 6 for coach + inline for radio, back-up camera & HWH pump. Not sure if I've found them all.
