    Big Horn water heater 120 volt wiring

    With much distortion and painful body positions (I'm 77 years old), I was able to gain access and remove the junction box cover on the water heater. After removing the cover and several wraps of electric tape, I pulled on the wires under the wire nut. Both hot and neutral seem to be firmly in...

    Big Horn water heater 120 volt wiring

    Thanks Dan...your info is very helpful. I'm hoping I can get to that junction box on the heater without pulling the heater. I did open the inside, lighted switch and found that it has a white romex wire with the 120 volts and then has a yellow romex leaving with both hot and neutral. The...

    Big Horn water heater 120 volt wiring

    I have lost the neutral side of the 120 volt to the water heater. I have a 5 wheel, 3538RL. The wiring bundle is so messy that it will be painful to trace the wiring. I was hoping that someone has the experience to give me info on where the wiring goes from the breaker center. Does it go to...

    2012 Big Horn M-3585 RL, 12 volt to kitchen slide is dead.

    Mystery solved! Pulled 12 volt fuse panel out of wall and found #14 blue wire on fuse #3. With help from wife, we traced the wire through the pass-through basement to where it entered the lower frame channel in a bundle of wires. There was 12 volts at the point it entered frame cavity. So the...

    Just as an update: I called Heartland Customer Service hopefully for some help is determining the cable routing and if there are any junction boxes with splices along the route. The service tech really wanted to help and he even talked with other service techs but they didn't personally know...

    2012 Big Horn M-3585 RL, 12 volt to kitchen slide is dead.

    Good Morning Dan and Dave. Thanks for your help. I will crawl under today and look more closely at the wire bundle. It is a very crowded bundle and tight passage into the slide. I did not see a junction box related to that bundle of wires. When I ran my jumper to the switch, I did touch it...

    2012 Big Horn M-3585 RL, 12 volt to kitchen slide is dead.

    Hello Dan....I did crawl under the slide and look at that wire bundle. Nothing obvious to me there. I have been all through the forum and some info seems to imply that the slide 12 volts comes from a circuit breaker at the battery instead of the 12 volt fuse panel? Do you have any knowledge...

    2012 Big Horn M-3585 RL, 12 volt to kitchen slide is dead.

    No 12 volts to wall switch just to left of entertainment center (TV) in the kitchen/entertainment slide. Fuse is OK and power from fuse panel measures OK. When I use a long jumper to feed power to wall switch the switch and lights work. There appears to be a open circuit from the fuse panel...
