Furnace won't ignite 2013 ace 29.2 atwood

Dumb question: anyone know where the fuse is located for the furnace on a 2013 ace 29.2? Can't find it on the side of the bed. Can't even open the box under the hood. Obviously, I'm not a mechanic. The thing won't ignite. Worked 2 days ago with no prob. Thanks.

The furnace is usually fused with the rest of your 12 v appliances and house systems. When the furnace is called for, first the fan will come on. It then has a paddle in the air stream called a 'sail switch' that must close and enable the gas valve and ignitor to light. If you look up your furnace make and model followed by the word 'manual' on Google you'll easily find your furnace manual and probably a trouble shooting guide, and how to set the gap in the ignitor, flame adjustment, etc.

The fuse box under the hood is tricky to open for me also (mechanic).

>push the clip on the right side and pull the 3" long latch handle out about an inch..........then there is a small clip bottom right side (pull out) and the box opens and swings to the left.

Bflinn181: the fan doesn't come on at all. Ac is good, fan is good. Heat: NG. Thermostats " click where supposed to.

Probably not the fuse box under your hood as it is for the chassis. Try checking the fuse box's near the bed or dash. If you have a volt meter check for 12v power @ the heater.

I was at the factory service center getting some warranty items looked, one had to do with my aft heater ducts. When I went to test the heater it didn't work. The tech went outside and opened the access for the heater to reset a circuit breaker located on the heater. Heater worked. Try looking on the heater for a circuit breaker.
