Shorted interior lighting circuit.

[Chuns]

Hello, all,

I had to do some work involving lowering the interior roof panel on my Adria Coral 670 and managed to short two of the lighting circuit wires that shouldn’t normally touch each other. (Yes, I know, I can be a complete **** at times. Just lazy.)

I immediately thought that I had blown a fuse, as there was a soft 'crack' from the area under the seat by the door that houses the electrics; and of the three, labelled Lights 1, 2 and 3, all appeared fine, but I did not have time to remove them and inspect further.

I shall return with some spares, but I was wondering whether there was anything else I needed to check, if indeed the fuses are intact. I was thinking of maybe a master fuse, or breaker.

The lights that work when you touch the Lights master switch at the control panel work, it is just the additional lights operated by a set of switches.

Everything else works fine.

Any insights or clues would be welcome, I hope I have given enough information to help identify the problem.

Kind regards, Peter

Probably just a blown fuse you need to check them with a meter, they often still look OK when blown.

Thanks, Lenny. My exercise tomorrow will be to cycle to the farm, taking a meter and some fuses. Cheers.

Make sure you have removed the 'short'

Fair point, Alex, but it is OK, it was one of those accidental and transient clashes as I was reassembling it without isolating the lights - I couldn't be arsed to go and get my torch! You'd think at my age I'd have learned better.

Thanks, both. It was no more than a fuse. P
