Most people post summit up like "hi im new " etc not jump straight in asking questions!

Yes, a little "hello" is customary :lol: and to compound your introductory faux pas and for future reference, this should have been posted in either the 'Camping' or 'Technical' forum :wink:

anyway, I'm not familiar with the 'Logic 1 System' - is it a 12v distribution unit like a Zig unit and any chance of a photo? Do you have a leisure battery and split charge system too or is it wired off the starter battery?

and welcome to the club too :mrgreen:

Apologies for the lack of introduction and hello's,thanks for the welcome,proud to be a member.It is like the Zig unit and it only has a stater battery,no lesuire battery,having a bit of trouble locating all the wiring and even if it is connected to the battery ,but would of expected it to work off the electric hook up?

It'll only be connected to the mains if it has a charger circuit built in like the bigger Zig units (and even then you have to have all the necessary switches in the right positions), some smaller Zigs aren't connected to the mains at all and are 'simple' distribution units. A decent photo of the front switches and layout would be really handy if you can put one up or post a link to one......

Hi,having trouble uploading a picture,it does have the charging system on it on or 12 volt and then the three fuses on the other side and a battery status light,i must be missing something because i just assumed the interior lights etc would work when hooked up.Many thanks for your help,really appreciate it.

So what does the battery status indicator say?
