Question:
Can a junction box on RV short out
asked by: Lester B
Expert Reply:
Junction boxes like # 3375601101 have independent terminals for each function that don't connect to each other. It would be very possible for a connection to go bad or lose connection, but it is not normal for an entire junction box with all its functions to go bad. I've attached a trailer wiring diagram to assist.
It sounds like you may have lost multiple functions, so I recommend checking your ground connection as that could absolutely impact multiple functions and then check vehicle fuses if the vehicle side trailer connector is not working.
