Help no water

[Gagakev]

On site and have no power to water pump.
Volt meter next to pump switch not working.
Changed fuse but still nothing.
Internal 12 volt lights work.
Any ideas please folks.

 

[Parksy]

Dry joint or faulty wiring? Do any of the wires to the pump pass through floor locker storage spaces where items have been moved which could have disturbed the cable run?

Kev

Any other pump isolation switches ?
Have you got your multi-meter with you ? if so disconnect the pump check the terminals in the van socket part ( out side ) then open one of the taps and re check if you have voltage at the socket if you have the problem is the pump a gentle tap or if you have a small screwdriver try to turn the impellor ...

 

[Gagakev]

Tried vtwo pumps.
Sprocket what setting on the multi Meter do I use. Sorry long time ago I used it.

 

[Sproket]

DC volts ... check your battery as well

Did you fit that new pump housing last" time you were there

Hi Kev
What a pi $$er. But you are the one with the T shirt.
So two different pumps no water?
Is the situation the same with sink ,toilet basin and shower taps?
Taking either of the two pumps do they spin if you pass a current across their terminals?
Looking at the "socket" on the side of the Adria can you access the rear from inside and test for a current?
Keep working back along all the circuit / joints.
It maybe one tap has a dickie micro switch ?

Keep us posted.
Where are you this weekend?
I'm near Wadebridge. I have a few spares. Mostly Gaffertape .

 

[Gagakev]

No power at terminal. Battery built-in indicator showing black. Its dead. No reading what so ever on multi meter. Got it on charge with Aldi battery charger.

 

[Sproket]

Have you left anything switched on since you were last there ?
Even with the battery dead the PSU must be working for you to have lights or are they 230v ?
Keep an eye on your charger in case it trips itself out ... just re set it ..

 

[Gagakev]

Thanks dusty. What I can't understand is that the lights and woosie pot pump work??
Sprocket.lights are both. 12 v ones work. Didn't leave any thing on and didn't replace the housing. So van hasn't moved even. Sorry if I'm a bit slow just using phone wi fi.

Kev
If I remember your Adria
draws the toilet flush from the aquaroll water container?
If yes the the pump must be working and current reaching the pump.
So. Have all three tap microswitches failed????
I doubt it.
Can you check the power supply to each individual tap "live" side of the micro switch?

 

[Sproket]

Kev what is your battery showing on your multimeter ?

 

[Gagakev]

Not showing anything. Must be doing something wrong!! Connected pump direct to battery and it works. Also don't understand why the volt meter next to pump switch doesn't work. Also the green light for pump stays on perminantly normally but it is not coming on when switching pump switch on.

 

[Sproket]

Check that you haven't got a loose wire in your battery box + side

 

[Gagakev]

WAS DOING IT WRONG Grrrr
Reading 13.17. So back to square one.

Where have you got that reading from ?

 

[Gagakev]

Disconnected charger and straight from battery.

 

[Gagakev]

Checked for loose wires but most ofit is in trunking. Cant even really get to any terminals as they are covered well.

 

[Sproket]

Right if you open the tap does the pump light come on ( even though its not plugged in )

 

[Gagakev]

Thats the thing sprocket when i usually switch pump on the green light is on permenatly. But it doesnt come on now. I think it could be the panel which just houses the volt meter and pump switch. Neither work. The panel is the size of a normal household light switch.

Check your e-mail

 

[Dustydog]

Hope you got it fixed Kev.

 

[Gabsgrandad]

Or found a bucket (Sympathy -- What;s that?)

 

[Gagakev]

Well the outcome is we think I have blown a capacitor on the PSU!! After spending nearly an hour on the phone to our saviour sprocket last night and again this morning it is the next step to take. Taking unit home tomorrow and get it checked/ tested/repaired. We checked every conceivable fuse,wire. Switch and joint.
Big thanks to Sprocket, another pint I owe at the fest.

And he keeps serving his (thick) Knight really well. I interrupted his lunch break on Wednesday, sorry!!
Still ongoing and it is not the PSU.
Next check is the fuse box itself, awaiting a blade fuse current tester.
