Westy fridge ignitor..

Post by TommyB260971 »

Hi,
The ignitor on my 83 westy has stopped 'clicking' and flashing. I had a problem with the gas tank leaking from a little valve and since then it wont 'click' or ignite. Has anyone any ideas about where to start looking??
Thanks very muchly!

Same happened to me. You can get a spare from Ahsbridge Domestics - about £40 though!

Check the small fuse box behind the left front seat (presuming yours is left hand drive). Mine stopped, I changed the fuses and it started working again. It is worth a try :ok Patrick
