3730FL Bedroom outlets not working

The two power outlets that are on either side of the bed stopped working. The other three outlets in the bedroom all have 120v. and work fine. I have checked the connection in the outlets and it looks fine. I cant figure out where these outlets feed from. They are both in the rear slide. Every other outlet in the trailer has power.Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this or where these outlets feed from? Thank you

Rear slides normally have a junction box under the rear corner that transitions power from the coach to the slide. That is one place to look. In a front bedroom Montana, the 12V connections for over the bed are made under the bed. But being a rear bedroom model, I don't know if this will be the same.

I seem to remember sometime back on this forum someone had similar issue. Found a 120v connector under the plywood of the bed actually attached to the floor.

It's probably the Molex connector under the bed that has failed. The only access is to remove the panel under the mattress to get to it.

I looked under the bed in the storage area and didnt find any junction boxes. when you say under the plywood are you talking about the plywood that the is under the bed frame? It seems like I would have to take apart the bed frame to remove that plywood. On the outside I did see wires running along the slide out arm that look like they go up into the wall around where the rear outlet is. Im going to have to remove some of the weatherproofing panels there to get a better look.

Thanks Bob, that was the connector I was thing of. Cwilburn951 it is under the plywood and does take some effort to get to it. I don't think removing the weather proofing from the outside is going to get you where you need to be.

It's behind the plywood wall under the bed. Raise the bed and remove the rear plywood. You'll see it.
