I would stick another brand new relay in, rule that out first. If it’s not actually activating the lights I would say it’s that.

Here you go. This morning I also fitted a 12V inline switch to the head unit, as it has a permanent live and was draining the battery. Any chance you could post some idiot proof instructions on how you did that please? First off, disclaimer – I’m certainly no electrician! 😂 So, what I did was buy a ...

I would say theres a high chance your radio is pulling a feed even when it’s switched off. I had to fit an inline switch to mine as it kept flattening battery. Had no issue since.

Can your radio be turned on without the ignition being switched on?

Long shot, but does your head unit have a contact live feed to it. I had this issue on mine when I fitted a new stereo.

This one has just popped up on my Vinted feed;

Has anyone fitted one of these into there van, I can get it at a decent price but unsure if it will look out of place. It’s been in storage for a while so needs a deep clean. I’ve seen them new for £240 upwards https://i.postimg.cc/66zX1CmP/IMG-2971.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/HW3gPbNG/IMG-2972.jpg htt...

As with any mystery switches like this, all you can do is trace it back to the point where it joins the rest of the vehicle which might give you some hints at what problem they were trying to solve. Then you can remove it, and maybe fix the problem properly Yep, think it’s a job for the weekend the...

Its clearly a third party add on so no one will know. You are going to have to trace the wires. BUT looking at the fuse box pic there is some a twin grey cable wiring at the side of relay 21. This cable is not standard looks like the wire at the switch. That may well need to be cleared up. Nothing ...

Bit of a long shot, but does anyone know what this switch activates? It’s pulling a 12v feed, but tracing the wires they seem to go up and beyond the instrument cluster. When you pull it in/out. You can hear a relay clicking which I thought was 21 but that’s for the hazard light, I removed this and ...

Yeah Chat GPT said most 12v will need a relay fitting, I was ideally looking for a straight swap plug and play.

Evening all, The horn on my Auto-Sleeper sounds like a dead mouse being run over and desperately squeezing out its last bit of air. It’s incredibly quiet and not much use! Has anyone upgraded theirs to something a bit louder? If so, any recommendations or suggestions would be much appreciated. Cheers!

I’ve seen those but I think they are a bit bulky and wide to store when not in use.

I have a 1986 VW t25 auto sleeper with bunk beds, I’m looking for a set of ladders so it’s easier to get into bed.

Anyone have any recommendations of where to get a lightweight set that is easy to store in the van.

TIA

I’m sure if they do fall trough you can assess behind the dash, mines a LHD model and I upgraded the jets and the left hose fell in.
