Title: Water pump fuse location

Sometime over night, while the temp was below zero, my water system seems to have frozen up. As nearly as I can tell, it has thawed out but the pump still doesn't run. I wanted to check the fuse to the pump but can't locate it. Checked the wiring diagrams and see that a red 12 gage wire #177 goes from the switch above the dash to the pump. But there are no fuses shown in the diagram. Does any one know if there is a fuse some place? It is still very cold out so I have not checked to see if there is power to the pump.
Also, the switch doesn't light up when turned to the on position. I can't remember if it is supposed to or not. I know that the fresh water fill switch lights up and it is working just fine.
Thanks in advance for your help.

My water pump fuse is located in the "Domestic" fuse box in the last bay on the passenger side.

Doug,

This has happened to me in the past and I found the fuse in the box in the compartment below the drivers seat.

Good luck

Thanks to Larry, Harvey, and particularly Kevin Waite, for their suggestions as to the fuse location and possible fixes. Unfortunately, the fuse wasn't the problem. The pump had frozen and developed a crack.
I was able to locate a replacement pump on eBay. While I would have liked to have Kevin Waite, with his vast knowledge and experience, handle the installation, that wasn't possible since I am located in SE Kansas. Fortunately, I was able to locate a recent high school graduate and student in the automotive tech program at Pitt State University who came to my RV and installed the replacement pump. Took him less than half an hour, it works perfectly, and his charges were more than reasonable.
Again, a special thanks to Kevin Waite whose suggestions on how to do the installation were right on!
