Brian Kirby Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Hymer fan - 2021-10-16 5:46 PM Hi Brian Yes I think I need a Hymer technician I live nr Manchester so anybody know of anyone local Do you have an address or telephone number Thanks Nowhere close. Nearest would be Lowdham at Huddersfield, next up Travelworld (the Erwin Hymer centre) at Stafford. Depending on where you actually live near Manchester, about 20 miles and 45 miles respectively. I'll leave others to say might would be the best choice, as my only experience of Lowdhams (at their other branch and about 15 years ago), was not that encouraging, and I have no experience whatever of Travelworld.

It should not be necessary to run the engine, if the connection is only made for a few minutes. If all else is OK, then the fridge should pull power from the starter battery.

John25P Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I found after a lot of effort that the 12v is only available to the fridge when the engine is switched on. I cannot find a nearby leisure battery connection. Otherwise I would have used the solar system to run the fridge. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J 3 way fridges are usually wired so the 12v only works when engine is running, they are not very efficient on 12v so you need a lot of solar for them.

Hymer fan Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 Hi Alan Just tried the fused wire across to the B4 pin 1 & got the daytime running lights on I just pushed the fuse wire into the connectors so may not have got a good enough Connection will have to make a wire with good connections & try again So if the DRLs come on it looks like it is the D+signal wire Unless you know better Thanks for your help & knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hymer fan Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 Sorry forgot to mention the fridge Did not work on the 12v Hence the bad connection Will make a good connection wire up & try again Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hymer fan Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 Hi Just a update to where I am up to with the D+signal wire Been to the storage today took the driver seat out So I could see what I was doing Took a wire from the 12v live to the AD01 adapter block 4 pin 1 as Alan suggested Everything worked as it should So took a wire from the D+signal wire going into the computer Behind the interior fuse box And run it to block 4 pin 1 & everything worked fine So I think somewhere along the wire it is broken But trying to find it has been a nightmare I will solder the wire tomorrow and see how it goes Thanks to everyone who replied Could not have done it without your help Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
