Fuse for brakes

Just found a bare wire going to one of the brakes. As I was taking off the insulation it sparked against the frame. I have no power to the brakes now. Can anyone tell me where the fuses are for these brakes. I looked at the 12 volt fuses at the main panel and checked all of the 15 amp fuses and they are ok so I figure there is another place. I didn't have the truck hooked up to the coach, I was using the break away switch for power to the brakes. 2008 3400RL

I don't believe there is a fuse for just the brakes themselves. They're supposed to be direct wired, so possibly you've blown an inline fuse for your battery itself. Is there 12 volts to any lights or anything else?

I agree no fuse on the brakes with a test check if you have power into the Break Away Switch if so you have power coming out of the breakaway Switch you may have damaged the breakaway Switch

I didn't think there was. I found the problem. Upstream there was a loose connection and I pulled it apart as I was taking down the insulation. Got it fixed now and thanks to all who replied.
