   The red light means there is a working circuit but the fuse is blown. If there is a current draw, there might be a spark when the fuse legs make contact. That does not necessarily mean there is a short. What would indicate a short is if the fuse you were trying to insert blew when it had that spark. If it does not blow, then try the slide-out. If it blows then, you definitely have an issue to be checked out, but it still is not necessarily a short. It could be an overload.
As it is, the glowing LED is on the F6 position. Did you park the 30A fuse in the F5 position?

	I have a 2019 Rpod 191 purchased last year & used all season with no issues. I live in the Chicago area and store it at an outdoor storage facility. The battery was bad & I removed it for storage. Recently, I installed a new, fully charged Renology AGM battery. After installing, I attempted to operate & extend the slide out, but it was dead. I checked the fuses & found a blown 30Amp fuse in the #6 location. It also had a lit Red LED. When I attempted installing a new fuse it arc'd & I did NOT attempt to secure it in place. I assume I have a short somewhere to ground? And suggestions on diagnosing this failure? Or, does anyone have suggestions on common causes of this type of failure? Thanks, Jack in NW suburbs of Chicago
