Help No interior lights or tv. (1 Viewer)

[westhamman]

Just checked my linterior lighting, nothing. That's lights and tv. The sockets, fridge and water pump working fine. I have checked the fuse box nothing tripped, the fuses look ok, wiring I can see ok. Anybody on here got any ideas. It would be appreciated

...... the fuses look ok,......

Have you put a multimeter over the fuses? Visual inspection can be suspect.

As above. Test all the spade fuses.

Agree with above as can't rely on just a visual check. Multimeter
Also helps to give more information like the make and model of your van and the system fitted ie Electroblock, Sargent etc. I know on my Burstner it was a fuse in the Electroblock that did the TV, some lights and other sockets.

I have found when stuff like this happens it’s a fuse change them all on the 12 volt side not the big 30/50 amp ones unless you have spares. Cheap and easy to do

Visual checks of blade fuses can give a false impression that they are okay as the 'break' can often be very, very small. Try swapping the 'good' one for the socket circuit for the lighting circuit to see if it works, if so then it's the fuse, if not then the issue lies elsewhere.

So thanks for the advice, I have checked the fuses with meter, changed the fuses about, when fuse removed it shows up on control panel. My next door neighbour a electrician unfortunately not motorhome one has checked power in and out on fuse box etc still no lights,tv or toilet

Anyhow thanks again, I went out to kick the van, thought i hadnt tried the boiler, turned the thermostat on hoping it worked, waited for boiler to kick in turned around lights are all on, tv on. So they are working for now, keeping my fingers crossed.

That's the ultimate solution! Ain't workin' - kick it!

Its not as daft as it sounds, if its a loose connector somewhere kicking it may jolt it so it connects again!

Glad your got it all working again.

There will be no door slamming going on. It's just odd, it goes for some paintwork tomorrow, so will not be able to keep trying these things as I'm prone to doing.
