Low voltage fuse box melt down
Joel Ashley:
As Ed mentions, a photo would be helpful, Jim. I have a 2006 Monterey too, and wiring diagrams, but I'm not sure which box you are referring to, since there is more than one 12 volt box in that cabinet. I also don't see anything labeled HOD, though it could stand for high output data, who knows, my deciphering skills are limited. For the benefit of Ed or others that may be able to help, see attached. Jim, I can email you better images if you'd like.
Nevertheless, just replacing it may be not enough; whatever created the short circuit needs to be sleuthed, as well as why the fuse system failed. Ed's suggestions have great merit. There are three 30 amp 10 gauge feeds into that cabinet, one each to the two multiplex dimmer modules and one to the 12 place fuse block, one 10 amp fuse of which I think feeds the multiplex control and its data flow between multiplex switch plates and the dimmer modules. There are so many fuses, and the 30 amp breakers, protecting this cabinet's components, it's hard to see why something didn't blow before fire threatened.

You guys are awesome. Thanks for the support. I have pictures but can't figure out how to get them on here. I have more problems then china has rice.

Thank you
Joel Ashley:
Worst case scenario, besides too much rice, I'll post a picture of my House breaker/fuse cabinet, and you just point out which box fried, Jim.
