Topaz Series 2 - Fuses for the switch panel located next to the entrance door

[Adam B]

Howdy, our series 2 topaz has no power going to the switch panel located next to the entrance door. I have checked all the fuses located above/below each switch, and the larger blade style fuses located next to the batteries, and they were all good. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if there is another fuse (hidden somewhere in the van) that i need to check, or if anyone has any ideas on what maybe causing the issue. Cheers

I'm pretty sure that the power to the switches next to the door comes from the 12V Stabilizer which is located behind the adjacent speaker in the corner.  The bank of switches needs that stabilized power as those switches are connected to mainly LED lighting.  I have heard of a case where the the Stabilizer tripped, cutting the power to the switches and it needed to be reset.  Check the Voltage Stabilizer manual, but I'm pretty sure that the Voltage Stabilizer can be reset by cutting the power to it for a short time, or even perhaps disconnecting the battery.  Make sure that the rooftop solar panel is not powering the system while you're doing this.  I think one of the 3 big blade fuses down near the batteries is for the solar so you could pull that out.

See how that goes.

Morning Harry, you are a champion. The switch panel is now getting power and everything is working. I really appreciate your advice because I was about to throw in the towel and go to an auto electrician. Cheers Adam

Glad it was resolved.

Hi All, My message is not on topic but am trying to make contact with Dicko as he was the previous owner of the Topaz I now own. I would like to discuss a few matters with him, all positive. I don't believe he is now an owner of a Track van but someone may have a contact I could use. Regards,Peter

Great and many thanks Harry. Just a few things to clear up and so much easier to talk to original owner.
Cheers,
Peter
