I'm in France with neither my DVM nor my electrical schematic diagram, hence my plea here! And I'm usually pretty good at making sure that I have EVERYTHING I need - typical!
Woke up this morning to discover that we had no 12 V supply to the habitation side of the vehicle.
This situation persists irrespective of whether we are connected to 240V mains.
When I start the engine, I can hear a relay chattering but, thus far have not been able to locate the relay. However it appears to be in/under the dashboard.
I have visually checked all of the fuses on the Electroblok/Schaudt control box and all seem ok. The vehicle is a 2006 Dethleffs i7870 A class built on a Fiat Ducato base (2.8JTD). Due to the vehicle being an A Class, access to the engine Bay Area is limited/difficult. However, presumably there will be a few relays somewhere under there!
On a number of previous occasions when we've had the motorhome on our drive, we'd noticed that, occasionally the 12 V on the habitation side had 'tripped'. This was rectified simply by switching the 12V switch on the panel above the door off and on (a single time). Presumably, these previous instances and this latest one have the same root cause.
If anyone has a wiring diagram for a mid 2000s fiat/Dethleffs that they could send me, that would be fantastic.
Similarly, any suggestions on the likely culprit would be most welcome.
Thanks
Ian
