I' finally found the fuse - it was in the front compartment close to the battery. There's a row of 4 and it's the 1st and smallest. I checked it for 12vdc and didn't get any. I jumpered across it and the stabilizers worked....
So I removed the battery and access to the fuse was much better. Took the fuse off. checked it for continuity, and there was continuity. Great. I don't know why it checked bad and then good.. so I reinstalled it, hooked the 2 wires up to it, and the stabilizers worked.
I dunno... but all is working again.
