'89 Redman, Lost power, 2 rm,

[D. Mack]

I've lost power in 2 of my rooms in my 1989 Redman. Is there a junction box located somewhere under the house or in the ceiling?

I have checked my electrical panel, and I have 120v on all the circuits, and no there is no breaker or GFCI that needs to be reset.

I have called Redman for a schematic and possibly some answer on were to begin tracking the problem, but they are slow in responding.

I have been on other forums and have seen that others have the same problem but no one seems to have a answer... Any suggestions?

It does sound like a GFI breaker...but since you checked it might be something else..

Breakers themselves go bad sometimes and need replacing...

Actually sounds like you need an electrician who can trace the problem for you...Any good electrician can do this..

First, we need more info. Is is a sectional home? Is it the ceiling fixtures, or the receptacles? I would suspect the problem will be in a pass thru device box. When the wiring is installed, it may in fact be one circuit for more than one room. If a device is burnt out on one side, it will allow the device to check good, but not allow the current to pass thru the device to those after it on the same circuit. Most ceiling fixtures are on a circuit with other ceiling fixtures. This allows the wiring to run thru the ceiling cavity. The receptacles are wired usually down the exterior walls on a circuit. The drop down then occurs to the interior walls from the ceiling. In the event of interior walls, the receptacles are generally wired back to back, so the same circuit often falls into two adjoining rooms.

A lot of manufacturers use the smoke alarm junction box to junction general circuts in the home.
It would be easy to see if you have a loose wire nut, or bad connection by removing the smoke alarm and taking a peak. Just make sure you turn off the main power supply before hand and reconnect the smoke alarm when you are finished.
