Weeeellllllll... I thought he was trying to locate a replacement !
My old Hobby had the controller built in behind the control panel.. Very basic but VERY efficient .. Did everything it was supposed to do without the over complexity that is so common nowadays

As Jaws said, put up a pic than it can be identified and we'll find what the matching control unit looks like.

A "consumer unit" refers to s 240V fuse box normally. In our case it's totally separate and right behind the EHU inlet.

Our control unit, Electroblock, is under the driver's seat and too big to hide.

You've just said it's above the hab door. The control panel should point us at the matching control box.
It's a CBE PC220-HB

Ahah !!
As Brian intimated.. Look under the drivers seat
But also had one I had to repair that was hidden on the left hand side under one of the lounge seat.. It was tucked in a box and well hidden

As an aside.. The common issue on the sytem in question seems to be the 12v fridge system that kicks in when the engine is started.
The relay is soldered to the PCB and the tracks leading to it ( and indeed the connectors ) are simply not man enough and burn out.
I have had to repair several PCB's over the years

Haven't you posted a pic of that ? Or was it some other inadequate PCB, which you seem to attract.
