Hi folks,
My Panasonic in-dash rear color monitor/AM/FM radio is not powering up. Nothing at all when I hit the power button. Also, the AUDIO/VIDEO selector buttons in the upper P/S cabinet are not lit. (The CD player and GPS unit that used to be up there were removed several years ago.)
I've located and checked 4 inline fuses that supply (or supplied) the various components as well as the 7.5 amp automotive fuse in the panel at the drivers feet. Everything is as it should be.
Has anyone else dealt with this issue? What am I missing?

Check to see if your rear bedroom radio also isn't working. If that is the case then the fuse and.or circuit that maintains current in the audio system while everything else is shut off so that your security codes etc. are maintained may be open or defective.
This fuse is located on the fuse panel (not box) on the back side of the battery compartment and is in the lower left hand corner and is a separate blade type automotive 7.5A automotive fuse which, although mounted on this pane is not powered by the common power input for the panel. It's wired directly to the coach start battery output.. and is always hot and not turned off by the master battery switches. If you examine the schematics that came with the radio and coach you can find it but its location is not indicated. I forget the wire number but I think it is a purple or striped purple wire on the diagrams.
In my coach the wire to this fuse ran along side the coach battery and had become corroded. I first noted the rear monitor wasn't working and then subsequently discovered neither front or back radio worked either. All the other fuses I could find in the radio components and audio labeled fuses in the house battery fuse box were OK. I know of at least one other individual who has had exactly the same problem. It's a bear to diagnose and locate the fuse even with a wiring diagram.
