I have a previous post asking where the fuses were for 7 blade tow connection, I found the turn signals fuses only, front driver side panel below with a lot of other stuff. I didn't find the hot wire fuse 12v for the plug which was the start of all this as I was trying to connect the toad battery with the 12 v hot wire from the 7 pin. I need help with that wire and just wondering what the other wires are other then turn, running and stop lights are for.
Thanks

Call Monaco and ask them. They are a big help. They also sent me a free CD of the wiring diagrams for my 2004 Monaco Knight! Can't beat that kind of customer service.

with "orphaned" coaches we are lucky first Navistar and now Allied Recreation Group bought up Monaco and continued our support--even though they have no connection to our Monaco Coach Corp coaches since it went bankrupt. Allied Recreation Group owns Fleetwood, too.

Here is an explanation of the various types of wiring harnesses and how they hookup with wiring diagram color coded. I used this to hook up my jeep for towing.

Chasing blown fuses and wires can be near impossible in these things even when I have the diagrams.

Buy this little tool and practice with it. Connect it to the wire on the 7 pin connector to send a signal down the line. The other part is a sniffer.

Trying to find a missing voltage on one of my wires was driving me crazy so I grabbed mine and it took about three minutes to find the blown fuse.

Since my rv is a 2008 suggesting you check in the right hand compartments near the rear is probably useless. There are many fuse boxes on mine and the ones back there control the 7 pin via relays and fuses.

My Panther has a 10 Ga red wire for trailer power coming off a self resetting ( rectangular two screw device) circuit breaker in the rear run bay on a circuit breaker strip. You probably have something similar.

The link is to an 06 DIP schematic. Check out location L1 for the trailer plug. You can follow the Trailer PWR signal back to the CB and relay.

DtBt, it is interesting that the large red wire and the smaller red wire on the left breaker are stacked together. Is that the way they are supposed to be? There is no protection on the smaller wire with that setup.

You are right. I have never used the trailer power. The schematics show a 10Ga red wire on the top left stud that is empty designated as trailer power that is moved on my Panther bypassing CB, probably by the PO. The other smaller red you see is the power feed for a circuit card in the RRB.
