Hey everyone, can someone help me out with this question. My camper batteries both tested good on my 2013 hawk. However my battery indicator and water indicator do not show any sign of life. Also on that same area the water pump switch isn’t working. Everything else seems to be OK. I can’t find a fuse That is bad. I am headed down the coast of Baja tomorrow and I’m in San Diego today. I’m not good with electrical issues so I am reaching out for some crowdsourcing help. Can someone let me know what they think might be going on?

Fuses good and two items not working? I'd guess a bad connection. Maybe a wire fell from the switch panel? Pretty easy to check.

Unfortunately not so easy. All the wires are in place. The trouble started when a battery terminal nut was loose during a long drive to the coast.

Which fuse was it?  I'm leaving for Baja soon also.  No problems right now.  I'll wave if I see you.
