2022 BAYSTAR 12V Tow Adapter - No Current

[JDK Bay Star]

Hello,

Have a 2022 Baystar 3014. Ford F53 Chassis. Tried to tow jeep with Patriot Brake Pedal System. Not getting any current from rig adapter. Lights work in Jeep while connected.

Tested adapter output with altimeter - none in pin for aux power.

Does any one know where the fusebox and fuse number would be for this? The rig has at least 4 fuse boxes. None of which describe this fuse requirement.

Thanks

Dave

Check for a coiled wire above your 7-way plug. May be zip-tied to the frame rail.
Connect to "Aux" pin on your 7-way.

I have the same, and there is no coiled wire pack above the 7-way.
All wires are connected to the 7-way on the 2022 3014...

I was able to look at the 7 pin per Jabber Jaw (thanks) see pic … there is no wire connected to the power pin but per my dealer (beckleys in Maryland) The new Ford F53 chassis does not provide an auxiliary power wire to the 7 way plug … he had the same issue with a coachman

Also note there are 2 disconnected wires that read no power … don’t know where they come from ….

Here is a pic of the 7 pin adapter

The dealer says I need to run another wire to the adapter with a self resetting breaker

Sure would be good for Newmar to let us know!

yup. Its a Ford thing. My 17 F250 is the same. There is a slot in the fuse block for a relay to power it, but no wiring or connections in the block, much less a relay there.

What did you do?

I wired my 12V power cord reel off the generator 12V starter wire, which is close to the rear of the coach (within sight of the rear hitch).

I will splice into my 12V cord reel line and send the 12V to the receiver. Easy enough.

Yikes. That is the only thing I did not check. Glad I did not try to pull a trailer. I wonder if the dealer ran the wire on my Expe3dition or if it was already there.

Nothing - frustrating at times but the only thing I tow these days that would use it is a horse trailer and I think they can see in the dark.

Dang, I apologize about the "coiled wire" comment! It was not on my F-53 chassis either. I'm getting forgetful, in my old age!
What happened was that I took it to the local Ford Dealer, in Bremman In. for some chassis work, & they installed the wire while there! I believe his comment was that the manufacturer was suppose to run the wire to the 7-way, but they do not!

Just stumbled across this post. On the F-53 chassis Newmar does run 2 spare 12 gauge wires (orange & black to the 7 pin. there are folded back & taped inside the split loom tubing at the 7 pin. They can be found up front to the left of the brake pedal next to the side wall down by the floor (same vicinity as the ford brake controller plug). You can use an open fuse slot on the fuse block on the left wall wall to power the 12 volt charge line on the 7 pin. it must be connected on both ends, about a 15 minute job.

I did discover these. Dealer indicated wire gauge not adequate for him to do the job using the orange or black wires … ran a thicker wire to harness.
