Good morning ,You said in the original post that you had a 2002 Fiat Ducato , not a Peugeot Boxer , but hopefully the information supplied will still apply , the parts supply people should be able to identify your model/engine type using either your registration or VIN number
-
There may be a fuse (20 amp ? ) near to the battery positive terminal ( depending on make / model of your Motorhome ) that is faulty/blown.
-
It could be worth asking the Holdsworth Owners Club if they know if a replacement panel is available anywhere , If not try www.motorhomebumpers.com who may be able to help .

The injector symbol is a check engine light on earlier Fiat Ducato vans, I expect the £75 was for a diagnostic check, using the required equipment, which showed a fault with the engine cooling fans (fuse/relay/wiring) and would hope they checked the fuses and wiring, if they were ok, decided that the relay (s) were at fault.
These fuses and relays can be found in the fuse/relay box that is under the bonnet.
You could try www.coastalmotorhomes.co.uk to see if they have the relay (they may need to know if you have a X230 or X244 model Ducato)
-
If you have checked that the connections on the rear of the control panel are ok it would be worth trying www.apuljackelectronics.co.uk who show it in their catalogue as a Sargent control panel they should be able to repair.

I would not expect the fridge to work off the batteries except when the engine is running and the problem, as suggested, on the 240v side, could be a faulty fridge element, have you have checked the 240v feed to the Motorhome is ok and the trips and mains switches within the Motorhome do not need resetting.
-
That looks like a C200 CWE model , the pump is in the water flush holding tank and is replaced by removing the top blue press button plate on the top (prizing it upwards) and removing the 4 x screws under it which holds the second cover in place which allows access to the pump. There is a U-tube video showing this , Thetford C200 CWE pump replacement , which shows this and should help . (you may find it just needs a clean to free the impeller on the pump off)
-
On your Autotrail there should be a fused interface module (EM40) behind the drivers seat that is a link from the Fiat systems (including central locking) and the habitation EC176 PSU and it would be worth checking all the fuses in both of these units and , if possible , the connections on the rear of the EM40.
If these are all ok it may be worth talking to Sargent Electrical support on 01482 678981

Goneoff , have you checked that you need a code for your model of Pioneer system as the manual for some types say you would only need to use the reset button after battery disconnection .

Have a look at the Vanbitz battery master as it may well work for what you are trying to do. The Vanbitz website gives information about how their battery master operates and you could contact them if you are not sure.

It would be worth checking the alternator main output cable for corrosion/ poor connection at its connection to the alternator and main battery positive cable at the starter battery. Also , in case the engine/gearbox to body earth cable is faulty , it would be worth replacing it (or adding another) as a problem with this cable can also cause poor charging . (internal corrosion between the cable and its terminal causing a resistance)
-
Have a look at www.caravanpanels.com to see if they have the sink you need or Dereck Justice at GRP leisure , Derby , 01332 600825 should be able to make one for you using yours as a pattern , if he does not already have one.

Hi Derek, thanks for your reply, yes that's my van.
What I am really looking to do is for a mirror which will sit along side the existing mirror but angled forward and down to be able to see front bumper. I have seen some on lorries but never been able to get details etc.
Plus the other possible problem is "where and how" do you fit it securely. ??
The company I suggested (magnumvs) supply lorry blind spot mirrors that clamp to the existing mirrors and other types.
-
Have a look at www.magnumvs.co.uk who may have the mirror you require.
-
It could be worth talking to Autogas 2000 at www.autogasleisure.co.uk to see if they have fitted one to your model and if there were any problems.
-
Horn push buttons often complete the circuit to ground through their contacts are you able to check this and if so use a temporary cable to earth from the contacts , to confirm that the loss of earth return through the steering is not the problem.
-
On my Autocruise Rhythm the water tank inspection cap has an internal thread which is around 115 cm across and has a W or M joined to a circle on it which looks like a makers mark. The waste tank has the same cap fitted.
-
That is an Energy Managment system (EMS) control panel you have and , as suggested , it would be worth trying apuljack electronics or Aandacaravanservices to see if they can help as Energy Managment Products ltd , who produced the EMS Motorhome power control system along with its A and B control modules , appear to no longer to support it.(If they still exist)
Or you could try www.nationalcaravanbreakers.co.uk , who also have Motorhome parts , to see if they have a replacement.
-
You could try replacing the engine/gearbox to chassis earth cable (or adding another) as these have been known to cause strange electrical / sensor faults when the terminal to cable internal connection becomes poor. Cheap enough and worth trying.
-
If you have a Sargent EM40 interface fitted (normally behind the drivers seat) check the fuses within it , and if possible the connections on the rear of the unit . (check for tightness and signs of overheating of the multi-plugs)
If you have not already done so ,It may also be worth trying a complete shutdown for a short time (5 mins) using the black shutdown button on the EC500 PSU.
Sargent Electrical technical services are normally very helpful if none of this works.
-
Has your control panel been re-calibrated after the new batteries were fitted ? If not, the information on how to do this can be found at www.sargentltd.co.uk in their support section .
-
I believe that the L means your fridge is fitted with an interior light so the element should be the same .
-
Is your fridge a fridge/freezer , if so there is an extra power relay and 30 amp fuse fitted , if just a fridge its fuse is one of the ones near the relays under the bonnet. (15 amp )
-
The problem may be with the relays , or their connections , including earths ( Split charge and fridge/step ) ,that you should be able to locate under the bonnet near the starter battery (they may be behind a cover) . There should also be a small fuse box there which would also be worth checking for possible faults .

What is the voltage at your leisure battery when on EHU with the mains charger switched on ? and do you mean a PMS3v Plug in systems PSU / charger ?
