Hi all

I seem to have a problem with my electrics in my 1994 fleetwood garland. Everything was fine after our last trip but having been in the van I noticed we have no electrics. the battery was dry but even without the battery no electrics. the power is reaching the charger because i can hear it 'humming'. Unfortunately it doesnt seem to go past there. All and any help would be appreciated.

many thanks

Electrics as in what?12v or 240v

The way i read your post is you've got no 12v, as the charger is humming & thats running on 240v, so first off your battery is fully discharged, because your charger is dud & not giving any output, i'm thinking down this line because as soon as you plug into 240 mains your 12v will work even on a dud battery as the mains charger should give you some stepped down direct power.

check the voltage going into the charger, (240) then also check the out put, use a meter to get true reading. If power in but no power out, then something inside the charge has gone, also ensure that there are no circuuit breakers or fuses blown.
