Euromobil Profila 2008 No power to CP

[SelkieSpirit]

Hi everyone. First post here (and there will be a few, as need guidance with a few issues ).

Control Panel (100 is the model). No power when used van at weekend. Nothing springing to life. Leisure battery has juice. When you plug van into mains, little green light comes on the panel to show it’s plugged in, but everything else dead.

I checked under, in the garage, and the unit on rhs (electronic battery charger) had the button out when it should be in, so pressed that back in. Checked fuse. Nothing.

As a back note, prior to this I’d had a garage do sealing around roof and they’d been running a hose all over to check for leaks. I’m thinking water might have got in somewhere.

I’m not technical proficient, and won’t have any clue if you put up an electrical diagram lol. Any thoughts on what might be going on, or what I could try?

(based in central Scotland. Also need recommendations for someone used/trusted to maybe look at van? )

I suppose one question I would ask myself is "is it actually turned on"

 

[SelkieSpirit]

funflair if you mean the CP, then yes it’s turned on.

Is there a separate 12V box with fuses and lots of wiring? Does it have a make/model number? There will be a main supply wire from the leisure battery to the box, which will have a big fuse, maybe 30A or 50A, in the wire very near the leisure battery end, worth checking that.

I did notice a little rubber ‘container’ between the + & - wires, that come from leisure battery. Sits very close to battery Perhaps in there?

Very likely, yes. It would be useful if you could post a photo of the relevant bits, someone might recognise them and be able to help more. Is it like these perhaps?

I’ve paid my subs now autorouter lol, so I’m in the gang!
what I’m seeing so far, I think I need to be in it lol.
you are absolutely correct, that fuse thing is exactly what’s there. So, I unwrapped the tape that had been put round it, looked inside, and there is actually no fuse whatsoever inside?..?

the CP was working before it went into garage to get seals redone (that’s another story), so assuming the fuse just hasn’t been there, as nobody would take it out. Surely?!

Not sure about this. It could be the main supply wire, or it could be a supply to something else that has been removed, like an inverter, or some towbar electrics. The only way to be sure is to probe both ends of the cable with a meter. I'm one of those nerds that thinks every MH owner should have a multimeter and know how to use it, but from your previous comments I'm assuming that's not something you want to try.

The control panel usually connects to a distribution/fusebox somewhere. Maybe in an obscure placelike a cupboard or locker, or under the seats. I think this would be fairly straightforward for a techie with a meter.

I suggest you start a new thread with a more relevant title, asking for a MH electrics techie in Central Scotland. Unfortunately I don't know any - I don't even know one near where I live, I do all the electrics myself.

You’re right! I’ve managed to find an auto electrician locally who’s going to come out and take a look next week. I had already been under the garage and at the fuse box there, but nothing looked tripped or needing replacement (tried to change fuse for the habitation but made no difference.). Maybe I need to buy a multimeter lol . Thanks for your help and guidance - appreciated

For info, The issue is the circuit board behind the panel - apparently looks like someone had stepped on it! Now trying to locate the correct replacement CP.

This one looks the same - I can’t see a model number on the current CP.
