Hab 12 v switched on? Start Engine and see if that kicks in on 12 v just to check if fridge will work on anything.

 

[movan]

No.

It's a Dometic if that helps?

 

[Scout]

yes Joy, but have you turned on your 12volt, its needs that to work on anything,

Will it work on mains?
when did it last work.....

 

[cliffanger]

Colin has said is the van completely level? You might think it is but if it's A little bit out this may stop it working.

Can't help with the fridge but if you're passing Cheltenham I've got a 12volt cool box you could borrow.

Is anything else working on 12v..lights?

It last worked at Malvern caravan meet.

Do you think a fuse could stop it working. I have switched engine on and it not work on 230v. I never seitch my 12v off.

Clever

Sausage. No!!! So what does that mean please?

 

[Zigisla]

If all fuses etc. are OK, then you have reached the end of my knowledge. I have checked my handbook, all be it a Thetford, and it only mentions 12 v Hab supply, 12 v From engine and the fuses. All power sources need 12 v, so a fuse check need to be done. Check if another circuit uses the same fuse and see if that is working.

 

[movan]

My readings sre 12v ..13.5 and 230v ..14.0

Colin says your leisure battery must be flat - I'll PM you Collins number so he can graph you through it xx

 

[movan]

Will the fuse that feeds the 12v be the one in the protected engi e fuse box or amongst the million others under seats and in cupboards please?

 

[cliffanger]

Joy have just PMd you Popeye's number - Colin is here and awaiting your call....

when was that how long ago ?

firstly are other 12volt things working?

 

[Kool Kroozer]

Surely has to be a fuse apart from fridge giving up the ghost

 

[MikeD]

Does the light come on when u open the door?

If nothing is working, then it may well be the fuse to the hab area, but I don't know where that would be. That a task for your handbook. Could the 12 V switch have been accidentally switched off / knocked or something? Do you have anything that works without hab power i.e. electric step or external light?

Why is everyone saying fuse ? The Electroblok controller turns 12V off if the leisure battery drops too low, you then have to charge a bit and press 12V ON.

this sound most liky, get it on mains and put some charge into the battery, then make sure your your 12 volt is on.

Yes there will be a main fuse but why would that blow in storage ?

Yes there is a low voltage trip - why would that trip in storage - because the leisure battery discharged. There are a dozen reasons why the leisure battery would discharge.

 

[movan]

Hi all .. no the light doesn't come on .. NOTHING is working on 12v ... lights .. pump ..

The battery isn't flat because it reads 13v.

I dont have a 12v on off switch on my panel and never used one. Am trying to contact @GJH desperately ss he has same van to ask if there a 12v on off switch I don't know about. Prob now my wifi and fone going to run out of charge.

Colin has said if I can get to them tomorrow they will look at it. It means lay

I don't think the 12v discharged .. it reading over 13.

Spoke to Gjh .. he has same system BUT he has a switch at side. I don't and there doesn't appear to be one in the manual either

 

[hilldweller]

You cab 12V cigar sockets are separate and should be working when the engine is running, charge on the move.

You will have a 12V switch somewhere.

Drive to forest meet and set a challenge.
First one to get fridge working gets.....you can add the rest.

Which one ? And this was after engine run plus hook up. The 12V does not re-connect automatically.
