Hook up not charging leisure battery

[george mcneill]

Hey peeps !
I have a Bessacarr E435 mh which is not charging the leisure battery at the Gatwick site I go to.
I have just switched my brain on and replaced a 15A fuse at the fuse bank near the plug in point for the hook up.
I am away from the site now, but am wondering should that do the trick ?
Hook up is capable of 16A apparently.....
TIA !!

Have you checked the ELH post outlet? Does the post need switching on?

 

[Terry]

It should work but, you could / can switch between engine and leisure charging so I would check that as well

 

[george mcneill]

Yes tried that. The switch trips every time you attach at Gatwick, so you have to confirm . Aha ... just remembered it's the charging that doesn't work and so it's a relay switch problem. I need to find the relay !!
Anybody got ideas for that? Is it the one at the fuse bank?

 

[Terry]

Have you tried a different HU cable ?

No......I am sure that's not the problem.....AC works on hookup.
I should have filled the first post with decent info !

Check Fuses,

 

[Terry]

If all Fuses ok try a car battery charger as the built in charger could be faulty

 

[george mcneill]

Yes doing that already thanks.

There was another thread where the ehu had to be twisted at the post side slightly to engage the connection.?
It was on the post titled "What a plonker"

Am sure I have fixed it by replacing 15A fuse.
If not that , then I have 2 more relay switches to match the one at the fuse bank.
Thank for attention peeps!

Just spotted you asked the same question back in Feb, did you fix it then ?

 

[george mcneill]

Yeh.....that was the brain dead failure....this time it's different !

If you have a Sargent mains box like my Bessacarr, there is a fuse at the back for the charger which you have to remove the box from its housing. It could be that this is blown or as mine just a bit corroded, needed shining ( technical term, please?) and works fine again!
