Tank level panel or awning not working

Got into Bighorn 3055 today after a couple of months in storage and the tank level gauge and awning does not work.
Don't know if it is a bad ground or what.
I pulled the fuse panels out to see if anything was loose and nothing was.
The jacks and slide outs work find.
Just noticed that the 12v lights don't work either.
Haven't tried to plug it into shore power yet.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Thanks,
Idea here, plug into shore power.
If your rig was in storage for a couple of months the battery is most likely dead.

Peace

Hi Jokers55,

If your interior lights, awning, and tank level indicators were all dead, AND you were not plugged into shore power, AND the jacks and slides work ok,

then,

your battery has some charge left, but a 12V DC mini circuit breaker near the battery is tripped. One breaker is a manual reset type that connects the battery to the interior fuse box and Power Converter. When it trips, no power from the battery gets to the fuse box, and if on shore power, no power from the Power Converter will get to the battery to keep it charged. The reason the slides and jacks work is that they are powered through other mini-circuit breakers on a row along with the one that's tripped. They don't get their power from the fuse box.

Look for a row of little circuit breakers covered by red rubber boots. One has a teeny-tiny reset button. I've attached some pictures.
