The 12v power socket failed today - and I can't find a fuse for that alone.  It is in the same bit of plastic casing as a 13amp socket which is still working.  It's a bit of an issue as I run the TV off the 12v socket and have done for years so of course the mains cable is nowhere to be found.  :(

    Is it the socket that has failed? or is there a fuse in the TV plug

    The socket has failed.  Everything works in the wrecked caravan socket :(  

    Of course I know where to fix that in the Swift!

    pippa, it's possible a wire has come loose behind the socket...as the socket houses a 230v connection as well, you'll need to ensure the mains is disconnected prior to removing the housing panel.

    You should have a bank of fuses, one of which will protect the 12v socket. Check them all one by one..

    good luck.

    Pippa, just looked at the owners manual, the AUX SOCKET fuse is the third one, 10Amp.
