Troubleshooting Thomas Payne Recliner Power Issues Where Nothing Works

Question:

My question is what would be the likely issue if nothing works on either side of the recliner? No heat, No lights, No Massager on either side. I have checked fuses and breakers in the RV. Nothing is tripped or blown. Is there an inline fuse someplace that may cause this issue?

Since your Thomas Payne Recliner has no power for any function, I recommend first plugging something into the outlet to make sure that isn't the issue. Next, I recommend checking the Cup Holder # 195-387597 and it's wiring connection because that selects the functions as a built in wired remote to the control box. Next check the connections to the control box # 195-387596 itself. Finally check the 12V power cord # 195-387595. There are no external fuses or circuit breakers that would cause the issue. You'd have to look for failed components.

You can use a multimeter like # PT89ZR to test the power since all the components use 12V power. You can also use a battery and some wires to determine if the power cord is bad by supplying power to the controller.
