Default ceiling fan wiring

I recently removed the ceiling fan and re-sealed the unit to the roof. I needed to unhook the wiring from the dial switch as well as unplugging the wire from the push button hatch switch in order to remove the unit. Now after reinstalling the unit and plugging in all the wires to their original posts the fan isn’t working. I've checked the fuse, and it looks intact. Anyone have a similar experience and or suggestions I've overlooked?

My first thought is that hidden switch in the fold of the bathroom wall.
If your rear ceiling lights also don't work - that could be it.

There is a plunger-type switch that a small "pin" lowers down into when the hatch is closed, this prevents the fan from operating when the hatch is closed. Sometimes this switch gets jammed from debris being in it.

Unhappy New found issues

I've just discovered that not only does my fan now not work neither do the outside lights; the one near the door, and the same style light on the back side of the TM. Does anyone know if the wiring to the fan is connected to those lights? Is there a way to by pass the fan all together to see if those lights will work? I'm afraid I may have pulled something loose under the ceiling.

Check the fuse in the fuse panel, It's the second 20A fuse from the top on my TM, powers everything in the front roof to include the fan and those lights.

Note: the TM schematic does not show the fan specifically, it merely lists that fuse as powering the "Front roof", but i have verified that the fuse does power both the fan and the lights.

Sometimes the glass fuses look good, but a close inspection will show a problem. The easiest way to check it is to swap with a new one...

There is a wiring diagram in here:

It's in the 2008 manual starting on page 33.

Thanks to all of you. I'll get back with the group once I've resolved the problem. The sleuthing is going to have to wait a bit as I cracked a rib falling out of my truck a couple weeks ago while moving some patio furniture in preparation for my son's college graduation party. Good news was cracked not broken, but still very tender!
Logging into this forum is therapy however!

Thanks again.
