Electric stabilizers

Hi all. First post here. I've searched the threads and everything relevant is really old.
I have a 2013 Jayflight I'm selling and of course the Electric stabilizers stopped working. The Lippert brand that I believe were ordered new with it. Seperate motors, separate circuit breakers with no power on either side. Problem is the wires run inside the belly pan so I can't see where they run to. Nothing at the battery and all fuses in the breaker board are good, I pulled and checked each one. If I can't figure it out I'll need to run a new line to the batteries I guess. Any ideas?

What do you mean when you say separate circuit breakers with no power on either side? So, you do not have working electric 12vdc jacks. What else in the trailer is working and what else is not working? Both shore power and no shore power would help.

My previous 2018 Keystone had the Lippert electric jacks and one stop working...there was a small red rubber like box under the RV near the jack with a fuse in it that went...I changed it out with one from Amazon so I'm assuming it probably had two fuses one 12 volt in the panel and that one in the red rubber box. The manual hand crank works well btw

Each motor for the Jack's has a self resetting circuit breaker just before the motor. There is no power getting to the breaker on either one. Everything else is working fine. There must be an inline fuse before these that has popped but I can't find it.

Every now and then someone here will work on their battery and reconnect the cables incorrectly. Has anyone worked on your battery (or cables) between the time the jack's worked and didn't work? If so, I suspect that there is one wire in common, likely black, that is connected to the negative terminal instead of the positive terminal. ~CA

Dumb question. Do you have voltage coming out of the fuses in the panel? Is it possible that these are powered off the battery direct and there is an inline fuse?
Have you verified that you have good grounds? Without that, you will see n9 voltage at the CB or the motor. Run a single wire temporarily around from the battery positive to the line side of the breaker. Does it work? Then change it to the negative post and connect at the motor. Does it work?

Nothing has been worked on or touched otherwise. I tested them this summer and they worked. Brought it home from the lake and they don't work now. They are not powered from the battery itself. I think they are tied in somewhere behind the electrical panel.

I think they are powered from the electrical breaker/ fuse panel but I can't find where and all fuses are ok. I just picked up some wire and other bits to run a line directly to the battery with inline fuse to bypass the other circuit.

It could be a splice behind the electrical panel.
Confident you will get them working.
If you connect direct to battery, that means you have to have a battery to use them.

Just finished making a new power cable to bypass. I always have a battery in it so not an issue.
Thanks for all your thoughts guys. ��
