Hi all,
I'm new to the forums and relatively new RVer, having done so for about 6 years now. I have a 2000 Salem (Forest River) 27' travel trailer. Last summer I had a mishap with the wiring at the tanks in the back. While the trailer was stored at a buddies house, his English setter Cody apparently found a couple mice trying to gain entry into the trailer. The mice must have been running up and down the conduit that contained the wiring for the rear of the trailer. Cody went in after them and grabbed on to the conduit and started pulling, breaking the tank wiring and pulling 12 feet of the conduit out from under the trailer. He did manage to get 2 of the mice though. By matching the wire colors I was able to fix it and it seems to be working correctly. Last fall I took the rig up north to do some bowhunting with a buddy and found that the running lights were not working. I?m not totally sure that it is related to the Cody incident as I never checked the running lights after finding and fixing the tank wiring. I checked to see if the parking light circuit is fused in the trailer and could not tell as whoever wrote the descriptions on the fuse panel wrote like a doctor and I can't read half of them. Should it be fused on the trailer?s fuse panel?? There didn't appear to be any blown fuses. The brake lights and turn signals are working.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone have a wiring diagram that may help me troubleshoot this issue?? Thanks in advance for any responses.
