[USERGROUP=9]@HELP[/USERGROUP] Do the 2016 ar240 have fuses to the house electrical. For some reason when I switch my house batteries on, nothing comes on. Can't even get the blower to turn on. I'm thinking I blew a fuse somewhere? But not sure where that is located. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know.
I would think there was a in line fuse holder near the batteries.

Have you done anything with the batteries lately?
When was the last time it was working correctly?

 

[FloJet]

Last month when I took it out. I added two more batteries but that's irrelevant I think cause I hooked the electronics to my one 12v starting battery and still nothing is happening. Very strange. With all my mods lately I wonder what I did lol.

@FloJet. If it's the same as the older boats the fuse for the house ckts is on the rear wall near the battery. Have you reconnected your batteries recently. Possible reversed connection.

 

[FloJet]

Ya looks like the connections are correct. Even tried different batteries. So strange. Tested all batteries n they r all good too. Has to be a fuse somewhere but I do not see where one could be

Here ya go its above and behind the engines,

Most likely #5

If its not #5 check your ground maybe the cable is not tight from when you were adding batteries.

So I found the blown fuse. There are 2 (20amp) fuses in the box next to the battery switches. One of them had been blown. Can't believe I kept overlooking that little box. Thanks for all your help guys. Now I have to figure out why my WS equalizer is getting constant power when the switch is on the off position and it's connected to a relay. lol. All this re arrange and re doing crap is getting to me now.

Glad you found it! Was it the big blade fuse holder on the bulkhead/wall?

[FloJet]

Thanks. It was actually the mini blade fuse.

Glad you got this handled. I am not much help in electrical matters.

One thing you need to remember, if you just reverse a connection for a split second it will blow out that fuse and that may have been what you did somewhere along the line of adding the batteries etc.

Yep.
And don't EVER connect a bilge pump in reverse (polarity).

Nor a ballast pump.

I had a similar problem several years ago, blower didn’t work along with a couple of other things. I checked all the fuses and they were fine. I finally crawled under the dashboard. I found that the wiring harness junction had become disconnected. Reconnected them and everything works fine! Good luck.
