Hello been lurking for a while but now finally got a van. As a newbie i have some questions.

1 The front o/s side light does not work. both rear sides work as does the n/s front. What could be causing this?

2 the horn has stopped working. What do I need to do to fix this?

3 How hard is it to set up a spilt charger? The van's got a second battery under the passenger seat and the main one's in the engine compartment

4 Where can you get underside water tanks?

5 I want to put led lights around the floor level in the rear. How would I go about doing this?

you dont say the age of the van.............but
1. Are the number plate lights and dash lights working?
If yes check the bulb?
if bulb ok, check the connectors for corrosion
if ok, check earth connection, (earths are brown wires)

2. Horn.....
check the brown wire at the very bottom of the steering colom.
check the horn ring on the underside of the steering wheel
Check that -12vdc is reaching the horn location
Are the reversing lights working? Horn shares the fuse, is fuse ok
Check +12vdc to horn, if need be run a +12vdc to the horn direct from battery to test with

3. All the info you need for the split charger is in the WiKi at the top of the forum

4.Underfloor water tanks are readily availible from rainbowconversions or Caktanks
