Electric issues

[RagnarViking]

Hello everyone,
I am new to Motorhome, just bought few days ago 2005 Fiat Duato Burstner 530 with 2.0jtd. Previous oner neglected this Motorhome as it was left 6 months on the driveway without charging leisure battery. When I bought it, both batteries were dead. I bought starter and leisure batteries BUT: 12V works when engine runs (water pump inside water tank stops working after some time) but 12V on fully charged leisure battery (engine off) doesn't work at all (no green light on the panel above the door) When hooked up to 230V have power in the sockets but fridge and water don't work. Checked and cleaned all the fuses and connectors and no difference. It has Electoblock EBL99 which I switched off before changed batteries, so my only conclusion is faulty EBL99 after being left with dead batteries for 6 months? Anyone has similar experience or anyone know the problem solution please, any advice would be appreciated.
Regards
Ragnar

Sorry, didn't realise you are not in UK. The manufacturer Schaudt do a good repair sevice, they are in Markdorf in Germany. If you are in EU that may be a better option, with all the cross-border nonsense now that the UK isn't. Schaudt is now Lippert Europe.

I am technically in UK (Isle Of Man) just delivery takes ages and sometimes it comes damaged (Ebay or Amazon) I already checked with 3 different specialists on the Island and the don't fix it over here but send it to England.
For sure let you know when it's fixed (hopefully )
Much appreciated for helping me

let you know when it's fixed

I hope is a quick and not expensive fix in the EBL electronics. Yes, please, let us know the outcome. Good luck

Hello guys,
Problem has been sorted out, I sent EBL to AandDcaravanservices and it's working as it should.
"contactor control circuitry had failed and corrosion of some PCB track has warranted the replacement of the contactor control PCB. Similarly, the lower part of the internal charger had suffered from corrosion of the regulation PCB so the charger was working permanently in the constant voltage (float) mode of 13.5volts. The regulation PCB has been replaced"
Martin from AandDcaravanservices is a star, I highly recommend them.
Price to fix was 140£ plus about 56 for postage and package - bear in mind I live on the Isle of Man so its should be cheaper if you're in UK.
Would like to thank you everyone for your help and support.
God bless
