Hi all

We have recently purchased a 1994 Fleetwood Crystal 165/5 and we are having issues with the 12v system.

 

We get power to lights / fridge / pump etc when connected to the towcar via grey towing lead, and also via 240V hook up, however we have nothing when connected to leisure battery (which is brand new btw).  I have checked the 10A fuses and replaced them just in case.  Lots of advise forums keep referring me to control panels and toggle switches between 12v and 240V but I have searched top to bottom and cannot find either of these things in our van...  I;m aware that on an old van modifications will have been made but as we have no hand book or manual we are struggling to discover if these panels/switches were ever present, or if there is something obvious we are missing.  Can anyone help?

Thanks 

Mark

    On my 2002 Lunar, there was a rat's nest of wiring behind the power supply unit .... within it was a 20 amp fuse directly connected to the leisure battery. Not that I had a problem with it, but only found it by chance when the PSU was removed due to another problem.
