Hi All
We are currently away on a 3 week trip around Scotland - fridge (3 way westfalia) has been running on gas for last 2 weeks. After a long drive up to Isle of Syke, the fridge has stopped cooling and the red light igniter is not illuminated when pressed. Also, the warning panel for the leisure battery and water (see photo) is not working. Normally this is resolved by fiddling with the bullet fuses by the door pillar as they can come loose. I have tightened them and also replaced the fuses - all to no avail. The leisure battery doesn't seem to be holding charge, it reads 8V when engine off but when running its at 13V. Either way, the fridge light still wont flash. Haven't tried the fridge on 240 yet, but hope to be able to do that later. As we are away I dont have many tools with me, but wondered if there was anything simple I could try?
