The other day I was looking through the tangled mess of wires and boxes over the microwave and must have bumped a green button on the wall that controls power (I'm assuming to the directv dome on the roof). because I started hearing this motor running somewhere and went looking for the source. when I put my hand on the front AC units grill I could feel the motor running up there and when I looked back up in the cubby I had been rooting around in I noticed a green lighted switch was lit, but as I was reaching to turn it off it went out on it's own and the sound of grinding gears and motor running stopped. It wasn't until the next day I noticed My radio, antennae dist. box and over cab light wasn't working. I've looked everywhere and finally found a reference to these items being together on a schematic I got with the coach. I've circled the box on the print because I can't locate this panel anywhere that you would expect it to be. does anyone have a clue where this panel is please?

My Direct TV antenna is an aftermarket. It has a light on the right wall (facing the microwave) of the cabinet above the microwave. The green light on the back wall is the TV (air) amplifier. For cable that button needs to be pushed and the light out. I would check the fuze panel under the hood on the driver side. It is stuck in the upper driver side corner.

yup that's where it's at, but man why put that there and at that angle? I checked the 2 radio fuses and they read good. I guess I'll check the inputs on these but what a pain. I know that this panel is getting power to at least some of the items that are in there, but I'll check the feeds for the specific ones that are out. anybody have a clue where this panel gets it's feeds from? The house batteries maybe? Shouldn't be the run battery. besides I think I remember the radio working without the key in the ignition. Thanks again Russtj, at least I got eyes on the sucker now.
