ATC locked brakes on !!
Hi looking for help & advice please ,we purchased a lunar clubman se 2018 privately in April this year ,well serviced lots of gadgets the owner had it from new.We towed up to Northumberland for a week in May & dropped it off at Whitby where we leave it for the summer. We picked it up last week to bring home connected everything the ATC made its noise ,light on so off we went,only traveled 20 yards & I realised caravan brakes were on ! I continued to drive for 5 minutes & when I took my foot of the accelerator we did freewheel great I thought . However another couple of minutes & I could see smoke coming out of both wheels so pulled in to the nearest lay-by ,tried hitting the hubs,reversing & pulling forwards but they wouldn’t release.So called Mayday breakdown, engineer came & said the ATC had stuck on ,he tried several things but no good so ended up on a tow truck . Back home we pushed it backwards up the drive & there it’s stayed. Has anyone had same problem,all electrics worked ie lights,brake lights etc,we have it plugged in to mains at home,changed the battery as the old one wasn’t charging, everything in the caravan works apart from the fridge but the engineer thought that the ATC & the fridge are usually on the same fuse but I’ve checked the fridge 20amp it was fine but changed it anyway still no fridge , looked on YouTube ,google etc but nothing on this problem! Any help gratefully accepted , it’s due for service in February but didn’t really want to call him out twice as van won’t be going anywhere till March, the fridge is a Dometic RMS8551 . Also we attached the car again for 12 hours hoping the ATC would reset but it hasn’t !!
Thanks in advance Ian
