Help with electrics !

Post by **rednip120372** » 26 May 2007, 18:30

We have just got our new T25. It's a German LHD 1990 Westfalia hightop and got a few faults!

The eberspacher fan suddenly stopped running after working fine. It has a simple control switch with cold fan/hot fan or off with red and green LEDs. There is also a round thermostat with 1-7 on it, the lights light-up and there is a silver box with a load of wires coming out of it that just clicks but that's it!

Next to the leisure battery - there is a wierd blue hella relay thing with a 30 amp fuse in it. There are four or five wires coming out of it and the fuse had melted !!!!

Any help as to what might be wrong or what they even do would be great

sounds as tho the motor has seized. unless there was a bad connection at the fuse which would have made things get hot.

if it is the motor can it be repaired or will it need a new one ?

Hi

It's a blue thing bolted to the body near the leisure battery, it has or had a 30 amp spade fuse in it that has melted.

Nothing seems to have stopped working!!! The main beam on one side has gone down but I think it may just be a bulb?

Is this relay likely to be part of the split charger then?

Eber is reliant on having a good 12V supply, if your leisure batt is a bit low/knacked/not charging then that may be your first port of call.
