Need help with my Fiat Ducato (1 Viewer)

[Joeboy49]

hello guys
Am new to forums ,so please excuse my ignorance using it
Anyway
I have a Fiat Ducato Motorhome ,it's a 2004 plate, a bit dated, but it's ok for us
Just recently, the cigar sockets stopped working in the cab, having consulted my owners manual, I checked out all the fuses, but none seem to have blown,are there any other checks I can do?
I know some vehicles have a resister that protects the circuits, but I don't want to interfere with them, without further help
Another thing I noticed , my M Home, being a RHd, I checked the fuses on the offside.
But also opened the fuse box on the near side,just to find another bank of fuses, would these be live, or could they have been installed as part of assembly ?
The strange thing is
This happened soon after I had a reversing camera fitted by a garage,,and it's connected direct to fuse box, not via the reverse gear switch any help would be most appreciated

The fuse for the cigar lighter was in the left hand fusebox on my 04 Ducato.

Hi from Devon and welcomed to the fun .
I have an earlier ducato (lhd) with the fuse boxes in the glove box for the cigar lighter .yours should have the fuse marked on the cover of the fuse box .I would check continuity at the fuse in question . Have they piggybacked the fuse for the reversing cam.
You could tell them you had no problem before they started playing
Good luck

Hi, apart from the two cab fuse boxes you also have one under the bonnet on the near side a big black box with two nuts holding the cover on. Worth checking them.

I had the same problem in my 04 Ducato, pretty sure the fuse is on the left hand side fuse box.

Hi! and welcome to 'Fun. It would seem that your problem is somehow connected to the fitting of a camera, this would seem to be a prime starting point for checking not just the continuity of each fuse but also its seating. As clumsy hands are possible, also check the cable contacts inside the box. You could also make sure that there is no power reaching the lighter with a meter.

Hello Alan
I will check these out,
The camera was just connected straight in with an in line fuse,like you said I will do a meter test,
There is a cable hanging down behind the glove compartment,this I need to check,it might just be an MP3 player connection
Anyway thanks for your help

Hi Joeboy and welcome to the Fun!

 

[pappajohn]

Check the fuses with a multimeter not just a visual check.
Fuses can blow right at the end and not always where it can be seen.

 

[Joeboy49]

Yes will do, just got to find my meter, moved house recently, so tools need sorting out

Hello Joeboy enjoy your van hope you sort it soon.

 

[Techno]

It is fuse 44 or 52 I recall the handbook has them identified the wrong way around. 12 volt skt & cigar skt

Blew mine last week using the rubbish Lidl tyre compressor. It's situation in the near side (left) fuse compartment. There's one either side.

Don't bother under the bonnet, you won't find it there

I had an intermittent problem with the electric windows on my old Ducato MH. I found the fuse and it was perfectly OK, refitted the fuse and all was well again. Happened a few time but I never did find the cause.

Hello Welcome to Fun, it's worth noting you only have 5 free posts and I see you have used 4 of yours, hope you get it sorted . See you say you have a older 2004 van, that is a relatively new van in motorhomes many on here have vans 15/20 years old. So much to read on the forum just take your time you will soon find your way around it.

The sockets are switched by a relay, so there is another point of failure.

 

[Joeboy49]

Thanks guys,I will check out that fuse,44,and 52 one more time,the handbook is very misleading,as it says the fuse box on the right for RHD ,
I am off to the Lake District for 2 days(25-27Nov, so will need my sat nav
Many thanks to all
Joe
