ELDDIS AUTOSTRATUS 1998 12V SOCKET ISSUES

[Jenny]

Hi all, I am new to this group and to having a motorhome.
Up to yesterday as I headed off to my campsite all was working fine, but on arrival I found that all my 12v sockets were not working which included my TV. I have checked the fuses on the font main panel but am I missing a hidden fuse box as I am stuck? All 12v lights work its just sockets. Can anyone help?

Is there a switch for them on the control panel. Uk MHs have a habit of turning everything off in the back when you start the engine so you have to switch things back on when you stop.

Not that i can see.....I have never had this issue before I have used it a few times and never had this issue, so confused.

The fuse for the leisure 12v circuit will be located close to the leisure battery compartment. In the case of my autostratus end kitchen model, it is under the near side lounge bench.

There looks like a 12v relay in the middle of the diagram marked 12v Aux. You would therefor have to assume that there is another fuse box somewhere for the 12v system and it is switched on by the relay. Maybe wrong but others will be along later. In the meantime put the kettle on and start browsing the MH For Sale Ads.

Don’t forget you only get 5 posts. If you join you can have as many as you like for £15.

Just seen post above so you will need a meter to check you have a voltage on the incoming terminal to the fuse box or there is another fuse near the battery protecting the wiring to the fuse box.

If your control panel is the same as mine, then you will have 5 switches for the seperate circuits, two of which are for the lights. Above or below the switches there are round covers, these are the fuse holders for those circuits, they just screw out or twist to reveal the glass fuse.

My 2000 Autostratus CK with the rear bathroom has a fuse box under the false floor in the bottom of the inside cupboard by the leisure battery. I had similar problems with electrics when I bought my Autostratus. It turned out to be the control panels, when you pushed the buttons they did not connect properly as the switch part of the unit (which is held to the mounting cover by two screws) was loose. The constant pushing of buttons had forced the screws to pull out. I had to rebuild the screw mounts with epoxy. No problems since then.
Attached a picture of one of the 12v control panels (the black oval shape). The other panel is on the opposite side of the MH by the TV plug in.

have you checked the rcd circuit breakers under the base panel in the wardrobe.

I recall helping a FUNster with 12V issues - fuses were OK but the wire had broken off the back of the fuse holder.
