TV Lift

I have a 2008 Keystone Montana
Big Sky 10th Anniversary 365RES.
Went camping in south FL. When I went to raise the tv, it raised, but got caught on the cut out on the left side, became crooked about an inch up and stopped. Now nothing. Over the years the top cover screws became loose and I was able to get in, remove the screws and the top. I have read there is a fuse to check for the lift. Anyone know where that fuse is located?

Those lifts are 12 volt DC. I'd start by going to the breaker box in your camper. It should have both AC breakers and DC-12 volt automotive fuses in it. Check those 12 volt DC automotive fuses first. That's where you should start. If all is good there, then go back to the lift motor and start tracing the wires back. It's possible, the motor itself died too, or broke. It the lift got caught, it might have damaged the motor. Check to make sure you have power at the motor. If you do, then it's not a fuse, it's the motor.

I tore into it. Fuses all good. Power is good all the way until the wires go into the big copper coil thing. I will try to send pics.

RV Mobil repairmen refused to touch it. I have electric all the way into the box where it goes into the copper wire spindle. I got the 60 lb tv out. Think I am just going to put the top back on the counter and put a tv on top. It can travel on the bed.
Thank you for taking the time to help me.
