Lost electric at most bedroom outlets, overhead outlets, bathroom sink lights

[Jill Goldman]

Hi Folks -

I have a 2003 Patriot Ticonderoga. I have lost power to all of my overhead outlets (i.e., television), most of the outlets in my bedroom, the bathroom and the lights over the bathroom sink, and a few other places. I have looked at the fuse panel and do not see anything that would help. Can anyone suggest where I might find the fuse or breaker for this? Fortunately, the lower outlets in the main room work so I am using extensions cords in the meantime.

Any thoughts would be helpful.

Thanks,

Jill Goldman

Look at the plug-in receptacles, probably in the bathroom, to find one that is a GFI receptacle.  It will have two small square buttons between the two plug-in points.  Each circuit in the coach should have one.  We have two in the kitchen, one in the bathroom, one in the bedroom, and probably one or more in the basement.

One of the two small buttons is for testing the GFI, the other is for resetting it.  If it's tripped, then the reset button will be pushed out.  Just push it back in to reset it.

There should also be an outlet in one of the basement bays (normally passenger side) that has a GFI.

If you have a GFCI out and have a Xantrex inverter this link my help with a replacement

I have some wiring diagrams saved for the 2003 Patriot, although not specifically for your floor plan, but the Patriot Lexington may be close enough. I will attach a copy.
Lookin it over it does appear that there is a GFCI breaker that feeds those circuits you lost. It says it is located in the "LAVY".  Fomt the LAVY GFCI the power goes to the LAVY receptacle, powder room receptacle, then to junction Box A (located in top of Pantry Cabinet) which feeds the TV  and other circuits.

The LAVY GFCI is feed from the "INV CB Panel" which says it is located next to the Inverter. Note the the INV CB Panel feeds into the "Bay GFCI" and then from there it feeds to LAVY GFCI. However the Bay GFCI is just a junction point and even if it was tripped should not prevent power from getting to the LAVY.

Jill,
I had the same thing happen. GFI outlet/breaker in bathroom had tripped.  Mind is located up under the medicine cabinet, it was hard to find.  After resetting it has worked fine.

Thanks folks. It was a GFI, but it was located in the basement. I called Beaver Sales and one of the their techs, Shaun, suggested where to look for it. Phew.

Regards,

Jill

Just for reference, Shaun is not just "one of the techs".  He runs the entire (and huge) maintenance department at BCS.
