I've done this also. Mike there is a fuse on mine that turned it off, but it also turned off the 12V lights over the head of the bed. I went so far as to spend half a day trying to find the short that was causing the problem. I finally called the factory to tell them I'd need service and where could I find a dealer nearby. They said did you turn off the outside switch? Boy did I feel dumb! After I turned it off, I remembered the tech at walk through showing me the switch and telling me how handy it was when on the road you could wash your hands.
