Hi,
Seeing if anyone has an insight of what a light purple 12V wire going to fuse slot 5 on a 2021320 S might be for?
I've been having intermittent fuse blowing and failure of the 15 amp slot 5 fuse. In my TAB, the fuse is listed for the Nucamp panel, fan, toilet and CO monitor. In my trouble shooting, I found a failure in the connection . The 4 wires at the connector are just too many to be crimped together and they came loose. In my trouble shooting, I found by connecting 3 of the individual the wires what they control, but there is a fourth light purple wire that I can't seem to find what it powers. The Nucamp control panel and the CO monitor are also crimped together and share a single wire to the fuse panel (1 of the 4 wires). The purple wire disappears under the bathroom wall and seems to head forward. It's a thin (higher gauge) wire Thoughts?
Thank you

Please provide the information on what the non-Purple Wires are connected to.
That will help eliminate items to investigate.
From your description/picture a wiring diagram would be:

There are four wires going to the 15A #5 fuse.
1. One for the toilet
2. One for the fan
3. One for the Control panel and CO monitor. (These are spliced together downstream into a single wire to the fuse. )
4. The unknow purple.
The CO monitor was not listed on my fuse list.
For reference, but not validated.
Fuse #1; 7.5 amps; Lights; Gas Solenoid
Fuse #2; 15 amps; TV/Radio
Fuse #3; 15 amps; USB outlet
Fuse #4; 20 amps; Refrigerator
Fuse #6; 30 amps; Converter power
Fuse #7; 40 amps; Reverse battery protection

There are very few 12VDC electrical items in the forward area . . . my best guess is the purple Wire goes to the 12VDC/USB outlet above the sink {if the yr-21 still has it} with the Fuse Panel Label "USB" meaning the rear/aft USB port(s).
You should be able to isolate what the Purple wire is connected to, there are very few items in the forward cabin area.

Could it go out to the outside 12V junction box on the trailer frame?
I'll report back...thank you

I think the mystery is solved. I noticed as it disappeared it was bundled with the black and red toilet wires. So I went to the Thetford site and found a purple wire mentioned on their installation instructions. So I'd bet it's tied into with the toilet. Although the toilet flushed with just the one wire connected. Thank you for your help.
