Where to Find 1994 Southwind Fuse Panel Diagram - Safe to Test?
I'm dealing with some electrical issues in my 1994 Southwind motorhome, specifically the power mirrors aren't working, and I really don't want to make things worse by guessing which fuses to check. I'm a bit nervous about poking around in the electrical system without proper guidance.
I can't seem to locate the fuse panel diagram anywhere under the dash area. Should I be concerned about testing fuses myself, or is there a safe way to figure out which one controls the power mirrors? I'm worried about causing more damage if I start pulling fuses randomly. Where should these diagrams normally be located, and what's the safest approach if I can't find the original diagram?
Dear Marcus T.,
Quick Answer
The fuse panel diagram for a 1994 Southwind motorhome is typically located on the inside of the fuse panel cover or in the owner's manual. If missing, you can create your own diagram by testing each fuse with the electrical systems.
The fuse panel diagram for your 1994 Southwind motorhome should be located on the inside of the fuse panel cover under the dashboard. If it's missing or illegible, you can find it in your owner's manual or create your own by identifying suspected fuses first, then testing components individually after fuse verification (ensure ignition is off and key is removed before removing or installing fuses).
Prep Work
Flashlight or headlamp
Digital multimeter or test light
Replacement fuses (various amperages)
Needle-nose pliers
Paper and pen for mapping
Owner's manual (if available)
Fixing the Problem
For your specific power mirror problem:
Locate the likely fuse: Look for fuses labeled 'PWR ACC,' 'MIRRORS,' or 'ACCESSORIES'
Visual inspection: Check if the fuse filament is broken or blackened
Test the fuse: Turn off ignition and remove key, then use a multimeter set to continuity/ohms setting to verify continuity even if it looks good
Check connections: Ensure the fuse is properly seated and terminals are clean
Test mirror operation: With a good fuse installed, test mirror functions
Leave These to the Experts
Contact an RV technician or auto electrician if you encounter:
Multiple blown fuses that keep failing after replacement
Signs of electrical burning or melted components
Complex wiring issues behind the dashboard
Problems with the central electrical distribution system
Any situation where you're uncomfortable working with electrical systems
Keeping This From Happening Again
Check ground connections: Poor grounds cause intermittent electrical issues
Inspect wiring harnesses: Look for cracked, frayed, or corroded wires behind the dash
Battery voltage: Ensure your chassis battery has adequate voltage (12.6V+ at rest)
Switch testing: Test the mirror control switch itself for proper operation
