We're off in 12 hours on a 9 day/1200mile trip, but have blown (two?) fuses. The refrigerator, (sink faucet) water pump & indicator panel lights all are out. The '85 Westfalia Camper manual says there are two fuses (16A/Refrig & 8A/others) located in "a small fuse box on the door post behind the driver's seat just below the seatbelt retractor reel housing"...(?) We can't find these fuses, and have checked all the other fuses. I blew an 8 Amp fuse earlier when (I think) I let the two wires to the driver's overhead light touch & short the circuit. I replaced that fuse, but then we discovered this problem. This calls for all the help you guys can muster!!! p.s. We've got a two battery system, where the engine battery is under the driver's seat & the other is under the passenger seat. Please help! Thanks to all!
