The 2 round fans that face the pilot & copilot seats at the top of the windshield aren't working anymore. Neither rocker (hi/low) operates them. Kind of thought it might be a fuse, but there's nothing else up there not working.

Any suggestions on where to check next?

On my coach the fans are powered by a fuse in the outside fuse panel. Look on the drivers side of the coach under the 'hood', there will be a black plastic cover approx 6 x 8, remove the cover and you will find the fuses well marked.

We had this problem when we piccked up our 06 Bounder 36Z last August. Yhe fuses are located in the 12 volt fuse block back in the bedroom next to the 110 volt panel (of all places). They can be unplugged from the wiring harness behind the front tv or by unscrewing the mounting bracket & pulling the wiring harness down thru the hole to unplug. Good Luck, they replaced ours under warranty, but I think it could have been lubricated & reused, which is what you may consider if yours is not under warranty.

Much thanks, SteDeb! I still find it amazing how many little things go wrong now that the initial warranty is out. I think the mfr's build these things knowing the stuff they put in them have only that 1yr window of proper functioning. Frustrated

You give the manufacturers way too much credit... Scared

I don't like the noise these two fans make, passenger side is more noisy than driver's side...could have been a better quality.

GerryB54,

Yeah they ARE cheap & noisy. When I'm having a hot flash, though, I'm looking for anything that'll move air past me. Laugh Sometimes the A/C just doesn't have the "breeze" I need to cool down.
