Help. 12v Lighter fuses blown!

[cantonalegod]

Hi Folks, sorry it's so late, someone may still be up.

We have no power from both our 12v lighter socket.
We think the fuses have blown (separately).
We also think that we need 10amp (red?) fuses to replace them.

We have a Hymer Exsis-i 414.
Does anyone know,

1. If they ARE 10amp red blade fuses, as opposed to car type.

2. Where the fuse for the Fiat van one is located.

3. Where the one for the Hymer habitation is located.

We are sat in the Newhaven Ferry car park with an 11am crossing, and starting to panic!!!

Many thanks.

The EBL30 has extra bits. It has two fridge relays, both powered from the starter battery feed as I said when the engine is running. The relay outputs go to Pin1 and Pin4 of the 4-way connector.

The difference is, when the engine stops, the supply from the leisure battery through the 'Kompr/AES Kuhlschrank' fuse goes to Pin4 but not to Pin1. So it depends on where the fridge output wire is located, ie which pin it is connected to.

Another thing to check is the D+ (engine running) signal from the alternator. This switches all the relevant relays like the fridge and split charge relay. It comes into the EBL on Pin3 of the 5-way connector, ie the centre pin. It goes out of the EBL on Pin2 of the 4-way connector, to tell the fridge that the engine is running so it switches to 12V power. With a multimeter, it should be about +12V when the engine is running, and about zero when the engine is stopped. There is a 2A fuse in the wire, should be next to the starter battery with the 50A and 20A fuses.

In case you didn't know, Sockets = 'Steckdosen'. There are two EBL fuses labelled 'Steckdosen 1' and 'Steckdosen 2'. Maybe recheck those fuses, and check with a meter if power is reaching the fuse slots.

Just had a look at the starter battery, there are 50 and 20 amp fuses, but no 2amp. Any idea where else it could be located?

There are some 2a to the left of the EBL30, but they all look OK.

Is that EBL near the batteries? Sometimes they are quite far away, like in my Hymer. The D+ could be one of those 2A fuses in the picture, and it might be OK.

Do you have the manual for the EBL30? It is available on the Schaudt website, but there's no simple link to it. The site's in German, but manuals are available in a few languages including English. Go to Service-Support, (Bitte Wahlen = please select) choose EBL, 'mit Ladefunction' (= with Charger function), 'Anzeigertafel separat' (= separate display panel). Click 'Artikel anziegen' (= display articles) and a long list appears below. Select the EBL 30, Union Jack icon for English manual. Click 'Downloaden'. Enter your email address, they send you an email with a link to download it. Usually only a minute or two.

There's a wiring diagram of the EBL internals at the end of the manual

Just to tidy this one up, the problem was a 20amp fuse on the fridge Pcb apparently.

Many thanks to everyone who offered advice.

We are now in France (Pissos). Pyrenees tomorrow!
