T25 domestic electrics

Post by watfordpete »

Hello
We have a T25 that has Zig unit and two domestic batteries. We think the unit has failed and are looking for someone to give the domestic electrics the once over. Can anyone recommend someone? We're based in Luton Beds.

Thanks

Pete

What's the problem? Are the electrics not working or batteries not charging, is it a zig cp7 or cp8?

It's a CP8 and the batteries do not appear to be charging. Eventually draining the motor battery.

How old are the batteries and is the alternator working?

Does the battery light on the dash go out after you start the engine and are you getting >13v going into the vehicle battery when the engine is running?

Yes motor battery and alternator fine. Had problem and changed alternator. But suspect Zig unit. CF8 by the way.
