The fuse for power steps on a motorhome, like part # LC3658373, will be found on the 12V power wire that runs to your battery bank as opposed to a fuse in the power center like what you find on a vehicle.

What you're looking for is a fuse holder similar to the part # SWC9538 where you can remove a cap to get at the fuse.

Attached is a sample wiring diagram for you to check out. Please note that different steps have different wiring configurations so the location of this fuse can vary for different applications.

When I went to look for this fuse on my 2013 Jayco 29' motor home I had a terrible time finding. Finally after taking out the battery completely and shining a flashlight way in the back ( after dark outside so I could see better with the flashlight ) I found what I believe is what is shown above. However, It is very difficult to reach with two hands from the outside and if I crawl under the motor home it is almost impossible to reach. Why in the world would Jayco place this fuse box in such a horrible place is beyond me. I called Jayco and complained and they said it was installed in the wrong place. Little help that is to me. Still have not figured out how to get to it and find out what is going on. Meanwhile I cannot use my steps without disconnecting them and then tying them up somehow to be able to drive down the road. Never going to touch a Jayco in the future. Thanks.
