So my light works but fan doesn’t . I use the vent fan a lot as cook daily. Haven’t checked for an in-line fuse yet as I am trying to trouble shoot. Wondering if it could be another factor? Bad switch? Or the little square fuse like you talked about in cars. Trying to get all my ducks in a row before looking. Thanks for video. Hope I can get some guidance.
Sorry to hear, so if your camper is similar to mine, and most are, there is only one positive and negative line going to hood vent. That’s because that’s soooo much cheaper than having 2 fuses in fuse box and 2 runs of wire running to same spot. Manufacturers are all about time and money so that’s highly unlikely. So if your light is working and fan is not you have half the work cut out for you. You know you have power and your issue is somewhere between switch and fan. If you cook a lot chances are the fan burned out. One way to check on fan motor is try and spin it by hand. If you feel any change in resistance as you cycle the fan switch you know it’s a blown motor. If you feel absolutely no change, chances are you have a loose wire inside hood, or a bad switch. Good luck!
I have similar problem and everything in my fuse panel was good but my light over sink and the two under cabinet plug outlets stopped working along with vent hood and light. I’m going to check to see if that’s my problem also. However, I’m curious as to how important the tiny in-line fuse is. Looks to me like the main breaker panel would cover that issue. I don’t ever use my vent but I do love my lights to work.
So the reason behind that fuse is that it also acts as a regulator and pole reversal protection. Since LED lights are so sensitive if you give them 15volts or higher or reverse positive and negative it can burn out the led. So this is like last chance to prevent that. But I know my battery management is good and does not go above 14vdc and I’m not doing anything to reverse positive and negative so I’m all set.
@@SatelliteA135S4467 well I took my vent down and I don’t have that resistor/fuse thing. My camper is a 2010 model so they wasn’t installing led lighting back then. I have installed all led lights though. I think I may have a bad gfci outlet
Okay, thanks for more info. So your entire camper “should” run on 12VDC ONLY. Unless something was changed between manufacturer and now. With that said your hood fan and lights are 12VDC believe it or not. Just like in a car. Your GFCI is 110VAC and that’s completely separate from your lights and hood vent. So going back to your breakers, those are for your shore power (110VAC) so don’t look at those. Look for your small red and yellow and blue car style fuses. They are same ones your car uses. From what I’m hearing from you one of those either has bad connection or is blown but does not look it. Take them out one by one and give them full inspection. I turned everything in my camper on and as I pulled each fuse I saw what shut off and I labeled it at same time. Good luck!

Hard to tell. Weight be a bad fan. Can you remove filter and see if you can spin fan freely by hand. Next (carefully) hold fan and work switch. If you feel resistance it’s a bad fan. If it spins super easy and no change is felt after cycling switch you may have lost power or connection somewhere.
I was wondering if it had an in line fuse. There wasn’t one, at least a dedicated one in the fuse box. Light works. Thanks for good info!
Great information!
Hope it helps!

Hi, Where can we purchase the fuse?
On mine light goes on but not fan
