Selective loss of electricals

[DDJC]

We've lost some electric thingies in the bus on our recent Yerp trip

Two USB sockets in the kitchen area
The LED light strip in the garage
The electric ignition on all three hobs on the stove.

I have checked the fuses in the electrical cabinet and all seem OK. Are there any other fuse locations that I need to find and check, or could it be anything else?

Thanks very much.

What van do you have

 

[DDJC]

Thanks for replying. What's a can, and where do I find it?

I should have worked that out!!

It is a 2018 Rimor Europeo 87 Plus on the SWB Ducato chassis.

Sounds like they are on a separate fuse somewhere perhaps under one of the front seats or near the EBL?

hmmm?
is there a fusebox also on the floor behind the drivers seat ?

Nope.
There is a fuse box in the Ducato dashboard, but it is just for the enginey part of the bus.

However, have also since found out the the electric ignitor on the oven and the oven light are also out.
So all four things that aren't working are on a 12v supply. Any idea what sort of size fuse I am looking for? I would have thought that a fuse that affects four key bits of kit would be easier to find.

The oven is a Dometic FO 3000 series and the hob is also Dometic but I can't find the model number.

All seem ok, or ARE ok. Some look ok but aren’t. Pull them and check. Also I would use tester and see if you are getting 12v to the fuse.

When our hob igniter stopped working it was the earth that had been knocked off by the drawer underneath! that's why it's useful to have a tester so you can see how far the power is getting.

You'll need to find the habitation electrical controller, no idea what Rimor use, possibly CBE often in garage area (if you have one) won't have anything to do with the base vehicle electrics.

Have changed every fuse for new. Checked old on the meter, all are intact.
Must be a hidden fuse somewhere.

There is an electrical cabinet that houses the leisure battery and the inverter. In there is a controller with space for about ten fuses, only five occupied. Not sure that it is big enough to be the hab controller, but I can't find any other controller box. Changed every fuse as said above.

I've emailed the original Rimor dealer.

That is very interesting because it could happen. Gonna have a look, but have to ask, whether that would affect the oven, two USB slots and the garage light?

Maybe they all go back to a common earth/ -ve
