Check Automotive headlight auto-reset breakers if you need a replacement.

I bought my reset breaker at NAPA for about $6.00. A service rep at Forest River said this would work just fine and it did.

BTW, here is the Lippert Sheet.

If not in a hurry, you might check Ebay for the breaker.

I went back to the rig this morning armed with a lot of good information, and indeed there was a weak circuit breaker. It would ohm out but it was very weak. NAPA had the 50 amp replacement for 8.99 and everything seems to work fine. Thank you, thank you for all the helpful suggestions. We have a valuable resourse here that saved me at least one, or mabye two trips to the dealer 60 miles away to say nothing of the cost in diesel and shop time and aggravation. Thanks again guys!
