Dead Electrics

[The Artilleryman]

Not sure how I managed to kill the hab. electrics.

Either something went when I took my MH for it's MOT - forgot to re install the battery fuse, or when trying to remove a panel in the wardrobe - was given poor advice, as it's not the side panel that can be removed, it's the door panel, anyway I had taken down the over door panel without first disconnecting the hab. battery and then had to disconnect the wires for the Seattle control panel while trying not to drop anything, even worse put this panel back up without disconnecting the battery and a loose lead shorted against one of the connecters - blew the fridge fuse - and nothing works.

Lesson learnt always disconnect the hab. battery and check everything is working before you start.

Looks like a big bill on Tuesday as I don't think I've got enough time to send the controller and pcb away for repair, before I need to use the MH.

There may be a fuse for the control panel on the habitation 12v fuse panel.

 

[The Artilleryman]

Only blown fuse was the fridge one.

Any other circuit breakers or fuses hidden away anywhere that you could check? Inc main fuse from/on your battery?

 

[The Artilleryman]

All checked and OK. The boiler works OK and this is next to the Seattle control panel although a different feed.

There is sometimes a 12v fuse to be found in the EHU cable entry box that can be missed , if yours has one , is it ok .
Also Would it be worth trying a battery disconnect and reconnect to see if it resets things ?

Just to round this off.

The fault was caused by idiot error - and a very costly one at that - what I should have done was remove the 2 control panels above the hab. door before removing the the panel they were mounted to, rather than remove panel and then disconnect wires whilst trying not to drop the heavy panel.

I would then have seen that the 3 two pin connecters do not go same colour to same colour (and I would have photo'd them for reference).

The 3 connecters are for :-
1. External light (plug & socket)
2. USB charging socket (plug & socket)
3. plug only - Seattle power supply

As it's all back in place and I still didn't photo it, so the wiring colours may be wrong here.
I'd assumed that the red/white plug went into the red/white socket for the USB charging socket and the yellow/white to the Seattle socket WRONG.

Red/white to the Seattle and yellow/white to USB socket.
Now everything works as it should, but I've bought a new Seattle controller and a new fuse board pcb which I will put up for sale shortly.
