Just pulled the B out, after a long winter in the enclosure. Power seats worked when I put it away, did not work the first time I hit the switch, then did work now neither works again, were is the fuse/power for them Thanks

In mine, there is a bundle of wires under the floor mat. I’m pretty sure there’s no specific fuse for the seats.

On my '93, the seat power comes from the coach battery not the engine battery. If your B has been sitting for the winter, you might want to confirm that your coach battery has a full charge.

Was it plugged in at that time? Also, check the fuses in your fuse panel.

No, so I think in my case it may not be the battery, more a bad connection from sitting, but I am charging the coach battery and will put it back in to check.

Was the engine running or ignition on? When it is, the relay will power the coach system.
