Dead Bathroom Vent Fan
After returning with our 19 from Alaska, our Bathroom fan refuses to start. No fuses blown & no voltage between the black & white wires. The light in the bathroom lights normally. What circuit are the fans typically wired to? Any ideas?

Hi: ROWDY II... The first thing I did was replace the red plastic "Push on push off" switch... The new one was made of brass, cost a couple of bucks, and that did the trick. The powered vent started working again!!! Alf

I see what everyone has said - but on our 2018 Escape - I looked in the manual and found there was an easy to access fuse up near the fan - it wasn't wired in as is mentioned. I can't remember where - but look in the fan manual. It was easy

Thanks to all!
Thanks for the replies. Found that tiny little dead fuse. Never would have found it from the angle I was looking from. It will be replaced when Amazon delivers.
This Forum is amazing. There is always someone who has had a similar problem, found a repair and is willing to share.

Pray tell, what size is that fuse and what did you order?

Jim: This is what was ordered by another member and worked. I wired through without the fuse. Maybe I should rethink that.

There should be a fuse for that 12v line in the main box, but this seems awfully robust for that fan.

Jim, The fuse taped to the fan motor was blown. I installed the new one & it is working fine now. I will surely remember to turn it off before closing the vent because it was a real pain to work in that extremely tight space. BTW: I don't think the amperage rating is an issue with that fuse, because it is a 99 degree thermal fuse. If the temp exceeds 99 degrees the fuse opens. - Jerry
