The red light will not come on, when the fuse is pulled, unless there is a demand for 12VDC. Try turning on and off one of the light switches with the fuse pulled. If the LED light comes on then the fuse is bad. Since it is in the slide I would like at the junction box outside under the slide. I believe on the rear end of the slide mounted to the frame. See if water and/or corrosion has taken its tole. If that is not the problem then you have to pull each 12 light and check for a loose wire. Let us know what you find.
Good luck.

and check all connections, won't hurt even if the trouble is under the slide.
Good luck, let us know what you find.

Thanks for the help guys(and gals) the problem was ,as stated with the 12volt wires under the rear of the slide. BUT, heres the answer, they are not in that nice junction box back there,The wires run behind the box and under the metal "curving". If you take out a few of the sheetmetal screws, you find the 12 wires just running along the frame unprotected for a few feet befor the go into some plastic conduit. This ia where they can rub against the swcrews,and in my case ,shorted out. BUT! now I have full 12volt and some fancy new LED lights to show off at Quartzsite!! thanks for the help ........Dave
