Some lights not working

[Pennee]

Stupid question incoming, but 4 interior lights are not working on my Autoroller 400…and I can’t even locate the fuse box . It’s a 2010 model. Any ideas on why the lights aren’t working (right hand side of the motorhome it seems) and where is the box please?

Do you not have an instruction manual?

 

[Pennee]

I do but it says it’s built either into the furniture or fastened to the floor. And then goes on to say the devices can be in other locations depending on the models.
I have undone the chairs and all I can locate is a water tank under the two seats and two leisure batteries and a solar control panel under the one.

Oh bugger - Typical - so many models and so many different locations.
You just need to keep searching --- PS I know where mine is

where’s yours?

Different van - but under the passenger seat

That’s what I’m thinking. I’ve given up for now but I have an auto electrician coming to fit a reversing camera in two weeks so I’m going to leave it up to him, I think. He can locate and show me. And hopefully get the lights on whilst he’s at it. Thank you

Surely you just need to follow the positive wire from the leisure battery.

 

[Pennee]

I’ve found it and it was so obvious as well. On the outer shell of the seat base where the batteries were. In my defence you need to shift the driver seat and then it sticks out like a sore thumb
Changed the both fuses for lights and still only one working so I will wait for the auto electrician. Thanks all.

Have you checked the bulbs are ok. Swap the good one that works to one that doesn't ,to check the wiring/ fuses etc as opposed to a duff bulb.

On the subject of checking fuses I have replaced all mine (car and van) with LED versions of same. If one should blow it lights up and can be seen immediately without playing 'hunt the fuse'. They are available in Halfords etc. but cheaper on eBay.

I’ll have a look in the week with one of them. They were definitely working when I got the van last month but I haven’t done anything with it since.

WynandJean that sounds a much better idea. Will keep an eye out for them thanks.

So, I successfully removed the bulb in one strip light to put in the non working one and lo and behold someone in a past life has broke the unit. And then seemingly glued the glass back on so it won’t slide
Does anyone have any ideas on where to purchase a new unit looking like the one attached please. There are also two cirro lights out and I think I’ve found two for £25 on eBay that I can swap out and change to LED. Thanks again.
