ColinT Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hi, can anyone help with the location of the fuse for the step on 2003 Swift Gazelle F61 please. I've looked everywhere except where it is!! 8-) Thanks Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Colin, My first port of call to see if I could help you was the Sargent Electrical website Link but unfortunately the Swift Motorhomes 2003 page links to caravans not motorhomes so I would suggest a phone call to Sargent to see if they can help.

sshortcircuit Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Are you able to trace the wiring from the step control switch as it may be nearby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinT Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Thanks for replies. I think 2003 may be before Sargent got involved with motorhomes? The "control panel" only has 4 rocker switches on it, which battery, water level, awning light. The wiring behind the fridge contains relay and buzzer then disappears down through floor to join in with other vehicle wiring so without opening that up I don't know where it goes.

sshortcircuit Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I am clutching at straws as I do not no your motorhome. Have a look under the bonnet for the split charge relays and there may be a fuse block beside them to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepe63xnotuse Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Colin.. have you tried the Swift forum? http://www.swift-talk.co.uk/main/authorization/signIn?target=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.swift-talk.co.uk%2Fforum There may be some owners/ex-owners, who may be able to help..? It may take the feed from somewhere behind the dash?(ours did on a previous van).. are there any glove box or lower dash panels that can be easily removed?...that may reveal any "odd looking" fuses?

Robinhood Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 ....can't answer the direct question, but can add some pointers. If the step isn't working, you may want to check the relay as well as the fuse (and, of course, any wiring). My experience of Swift build is that they tended to tuck the relays (and sometimes fuses) away in the most unlikely places. Last time I went looking for a step relay on a Swift van it was at the back of the "cubby" under the cooker. This was, however, on a layout where this was adjacent to the door - on your layout, I would be inclined to tease off the lower fridge vent (if, as I suspect, it is a removable one), and have a look at the wiring in there. ....actually, as you were! (Reflected on what I've posted and my brain has caught up!) There is wiring to the step switch that may be in the locations mentioned, I'd expect the fuse to be in the engine bay, close to the relays (which Swift conventionally mounted on a bracket under the top plastic engine cover). If you can't find the (three or four-way clear-plastic topped) fusebox, trace the wiring from the aforementioned relays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinT Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Thanks all for your assistance, Robinhood you were correct it was under a black plastic cover right in the middle of the engine bay, I mist it because I couldn't see any wires going into it! Anyway one fuse blow and one relay with faulty contact. Fridge and step now working fine. Thanks again Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use good quality fuses as cheepos will burn the fuse block out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Sounds like a result! - glad to be of assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
