It really helps the group if you tell us the Year, Make, and Model of your Montana. Adding that info to your Signature is the best way to ensure it is always there in a Post.

It appears you have a 2018 Montana 3921FB.

Milijose - I used the google search “LED awning light fuse”. Carl probably did the same. I read thru the first four results before finding someone with the InCommand Pro Plus panel like you and I have. It seems there are fuses behind the InCommand BCM in the basement. In the post I read - the guy said to remove the 6 screws holding the BCM to the wall, remove it and look. He said the BCM wires have lots of slack to allow it to be pulled out.

If it was me - I would remove the wall panel to the left of the BCM and try to access the fuses from there. I would not trust my skill to remove and replace the BCM and the bundles of wires. My InCommand works fine now - I don’t want to mess with it unless I have to.

The owners manual has a pic/layout of the BCM. The awning light connects are on the lower left side. The BCM diagram numbers the connections and shows the color of the wire. Study the layout before you start digging thru the spaghetti bundle of wires looking for the right wire to trace for a fuse.

Edit: For those of you that do not have InCommand - it seems that the 3 volt fuse is behind your switch panel…so you have to remove the switch panel and look.

Well, Mike beat me to it. I found mine behind the switch panel last year when I had a problem with the awning and light. Turned out to be the connector outside for the awning motor was corroded. Unplugged it and plugged it back in and the awning started working again.

Awning fuse located!

My 2018 3811MS has a 3 amp fuse located behind the inside light switch panel. It is an "inline" fuse holder with a 3 amp standard style atc car fuse. I found it when I removed the switch panel to replace a broken switch.

I know this is an older post but wanted to add some additional content……. On my 2022 3791RD my LED awning lights shorted out. The wire lead from the light strip over to the awning arm (where it goes into the RV) rubbed through on the awning arm. I fixed the wire but had no power at the LED strip. I had to pull the BCM off the basement wall to replace the 3amp fuse. Such a ridiculous set up.

Light fuse

My 2018 3811ms has me going nuts. My awning lights have slowly stopped working. I’ve looked at the Incommand in the basement but have no clue what to look for. Please guide me to the right fuse.

See screen shot from this thread (link below) for fuse location and a comment about the plug at the exterior awning being corroded...

I have never tried to look for the 3 amp fuse, but since a unit with InCommand does not have a "light switch panel", I assume it is behind the control touch screen...I have never tried to remove the screen...maybe someone else will know.

Also screen shots for the InCommand ProPlus from the owners manual showing which wires and which relay control the lights. If the 3 amp fuse is not the problem, the black relays on the BCM simply unplug and plug back in to possibly get better connection. All of those black relays are the same, so you could swap relays around (i.e. - swap #23 with #26) to see if it corrects the problem.

Jose is right a crazy place to put a fuse but that’s where it is
