Hi
I have a 1999 version of the above and recently was unable to get any power through the 12v wiring to the zig control panel. I have established (through wiring the leisure battery direct to the panel resulting in everything working) that the fault lies somwhere between the battery and control unit.
I have been advised there could be a fuse near the battery but having followed the wire from the leisure battery under the van as far as I could, nothing seems to be there (nor any breaks etc in the cable)
If anyone has any suggestions as to where a fuse may be (or any other bright ideas about what may cause this fault) I would be grateful for any tips as our firsts trips of the year are imminent!

Yes, I wired the battery direct to the zig and power came through as normal. Having looked at a couple of other forums the fuse or relay seem to be the answer (tho there could be a wire problem i suppose tho all the wire/cable I can see appears to be ok.
Have tried emailing Leisuredrive and am hoping for a call next week due to the relevant person being on holiday and this may shed some light on the elusive fuse location!

Hi Tarby
Yes when I have hook up on I can get power from 240v sockets but still nothing from the 12v, however as mentioned earlier I wired the leisure battery directly to the zig and intantly got intereior lights and pump working as normal.
As you suggest I think it may be a fuse, but this is where my problem is, as there isnt a fuse anywhere in sight!! though various people have said there should be one (probably an in-line one) near the battery but it remains totally elusive!!

It maybe in the 12 volt consumer unit if so it would be a 15 to a 20 amp.you could ring the manufacturers and talk to the technical service dept there usually helpful.

I agree with tarby, some chargers do have inbuilt fuses to protect various components, its worth a look, my trigano is like that, but they are easy to get to and visible

Hi Tarby & wineciccio thanks for your help and interest.
Still cant find any fuses but having it narrowed down a bit is a great help. Waiting for a call from Leisuredrive next week that may get me even closer but have also booked it in to a camper repairers for the end of the month to be on the safe side, as we're doing our first continental trip - well only 3 nights in Belgium - 4 weeks tomorrow and really need to get it sorted!
