OK, I have no 12V battery power on my round 7 pin and I have talked to Monaco and they said that its a workhorse installed item. So where is the fuse that suppies that connector? I believe that it hasnt had power since we bought the unit, but this is the first time I've checked it. I was trying to wire a toad charge wire up to the Honda using it. Does anyone know where I need to look?

Have you checked all the pins on the 7 pin with a volt meter and the ign switch on. I have a HR and they did not wire it to the "standard". I had to change just about every wire on my trailer 7 pin so it would work on the HR 7 pin connector.

Well I traced the harness this morning and the wire was not hooked up to anything! It is now a battery power tha is hooked up to the house battery bank, which charges the toad.

We found the same thing when we tried to install a brake controller on our Ford F53 chassis. All the wires were in the loom on the chassis, and all the wires were in the trailer harness loom. For some reason the #2 (10 ga blue wire) was folded back and taped in each of the harnesses. I called Winnebago to ask why it was the only wire in the combination not connected. Their reply was that wire is connected by the dealer only if the customer asks to have a trailer brake controller installed.
I'll bet if you do a little more searching you'll find both wires are there, just not connected together.

The alternator is 36 feet from the hitch, since the house batteries charge off the alternator while the engine is running there is no reason to run a wire to the front of the coach.
