the yuds Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 We are having a problem with the drop down bed on our 2014 Fiat Ducato based Adria Matrix Plus 680SP. We have done over 25000 miles in the 5 years we have owned the motorhome and although we have had our fair share of things to fix along the way, we have found the Adria is generally really well built. At the end of our last trip the drop down bed decided it was time to play up and it took numerous presses on the resettable fuse above the rocker switch before we managed to get the bed to go fully up. Now we are back home and I have tried to work out what the problem is but, having managed to get the bed to lower slightly, now the resettable fuse won't stay in so the bed is stuck. The bed has telescopic arms to lower / raise it, which appear to be ok, but with only a foot or so of headroom I can see a cover on one side but can't access that motor easily, and there doesn't appear to be a manual lowering option like our previous motorhome. Is it simply a case of the resettable fuse becoming weakened and needing to be replaced or is it something related to the motor itself? Any help or advice would be really appreciated.

Keithl Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 One reason for excessive current is low voltage so check your battery voltage is ok. But as the trip will no longer reset you may need to dig deeper for the cause, can you bypass the trip with an ammeter and actually measure the current being drawn?

onecal Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) Hi I think your model may have a motor on each side which can get operating system out of alignment There was a solution of replacing the motors with up graded four wire ones (wiring and electric modification and new control unit was needed) Make sure first you have no excess weight on the bed on one side, and as Keithl suggests make sure you have good voltage from your battery and wiring and connections are good, Then check to see what kind of motors you have fitted that operate the bed Regards Edited April 19 by onecal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
