New Van owner need help. (15 Viewers)

[crafternewbie]

Hi,
Thanks for allowing me to join the forum. We have recently purchased a beautiful VW Crafter conversion.
There is a Sargent EC 155 installed in it but I think I may have blown something.
The power on button was lighting up no problem when I brought it home and everything was working as it should but I think I may have plugged the EHU in while it was still switched on. Now the EC155 doesn’t seem to be switchi On ( or at least the power button isn’t lighting up)
Obviously I’m worried the leisure batteries woo t be getting charged as I go.
Can someone help me please. This is our first van and I’m learning as I go!!

Thanks

I'm not familiar with anything Sargent, but can you test for power with a multimeter or better still clamp meter?

This couldnt be something as simple as turning the panel back on could it ?

And welcome.

lol, tried that. And I wouldn’t have or know how to use a power meter.

Now's the time to learn, it'll come in handy for years

Yes the Uni-t one linked above. It's not the cheapest but it measures DC current through the clamp which is important for vans, and cars.
