Problems in the bedroom department!

[AG 2602]

Hi All
Help needed.

we have a Pilote G740 has a fixed island bed at the rear.
we have recently had some work done because hab battery wasn’t showing any charge on control panel. That has now been fixed by an engineer.
We have just come out to the van to get ready for the off next weekend and realized that the bed didn’t lower from the switch in the garage and the head of the bed doesn’t adjust from switch by the bed. Checked fridge and other appliances that work on AUX and all fine.
Any help greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance

At a guess the bed circuit fuse has failed or the recent work disconnected the supply to the bed motors

 

[AG 2602]

Just checked fuse for bed it’s in French but pretty sure it’s the one marked Lit Elect which seems fine.
I wouldn’t have a clue regarding wiring to the bed itself. I’ve attached image of box.

 

[AG 2602]

If I can’t get this fixed before we go away does anyone know if there is a manual override for the recliner so at least we can get the bed flat?

thanks

Looking at the picture of the fuse board is the 15amp fuse auxiliary 3 ok it looks like it may have blown to me

I’ll have a look.

You need to check fuses with a meter no good just looking at them.

Ok I have a meter I’ll have a look. Sorry I’m useless with this stuff! What do in need to set the meter on and what should I be looking for?

 

[pappajohn]

Lit Elect is electric bed.
Just replace the fuse or check it with a multimeter.
You can't always see a break in the fuse.

 

[pappajohn]

What do in need to set the meter on and what should I be looking for

Set the meter to OHMS
Touch one probe to each blade of the (removed) fuse
If the fuse is good you'll get a reading... Maybe 1
If its blown the meter display won't change

 

[Blackadder]

Set the meter on Oms (sometimes labelled resistance). Remove the fuse and connect a meter lead to each end. The meter should read zero (or close to it) if the fuse is good. If it's blown the needle probably won't move. Make sure you're not touching both ends of the fuse!

take the fuse out. set the meter to ohms or continuity. place the meter probes one on each leg of the fuse. If on continuity and the fuse ok it beeps, if on ohms, anything above zero is failed

If my Avo Minor beeped I'd be shocked (sic). It's never made a noise in the 45 years I've had it!

Thanks but can’t see the settings your referring too? Pic below

Down at 6 o'clock. The 200 ohm position

 

[AG 2602]

Ok thanks. Think fuse is ok getting a reading 00.3

thanks for everyone’s feedback I’ll see if I can get the engineer out before we set off.
Otherwise we will have to try and sleep upright!

Resistance is measured in ohms, usually denoted by the Greek letter omega, which looks like a headphone symbol. Look between the 200 and 2000 at the 6o'clock position.

Yes, correct. For future reference the others are mostly easy to guess, but Chauffage = Heating and Marchepied = Step.

The manual for the EBL271 can be downloaded from the Schaudt web site. There's a wiring diagram at the end, might be useful for the engineer. An English version is available. You select the one you want, give them your email address and they send you a download link by email. Usually in a couple of minutes.

All sorted they have emailed me a copy.

On the subject of checking fuses I have replaced all mine (car and van) with LED versions of same. If one should blow it lights up and can be seen immediately with playing 'hunt the fuse'. They are available in Halfords etc. but cheaper on eBay.

That should read, "without playing....."

Thanks everyone engineer is hopefully on his way fingers crossed it can get sorted before we go away at the weekend. If not I will be turning the bed from electric to manual using a hack saw and a lump hammer!
