Hi everyone...
Just joined the foruma dn hoping some of you can shed some light on an issue weve started to have with the water pump.
Weve an Elddis Elusion 4 Berth 2001 - everything was okay (first trip at the weekend) then the pump suddenly stopped working yesterday morning.
A lot to get used to we had a quick once over from the previous owners when we bought it back in August. No hard copy of the manual with it either - I emailed Elddis and they sent me a PDF from 2003 so I'm assuming that manual is still ok for our van.
Anyway - as I say the pump has stopped working/no water and indicator light isn't coming on..it was working fine.
I thought maybe the water barrel was low and the pump had shut off/shorted out..?
Ive read a few forums and this seems common that pumps can go - I'm worried that the pump run indicator isnt illuminating. Previous to this we had water and it was really hot from the hot tap/s so the water heater was working at that time ie Sat night.
Ive checked/tested the pump fuse and the water heater fuses and they are ok.
Ive ordered a water heater fuse for it waiting on it coming. Just in case its went as well.
Was gonna leave it in to a local service centre/dealer but would like to try and sort it myself if I can. Worried what the labour charges might be - its not an Elddis dealer just a general caravan dealer.
Could it be that if the pump is gone then the switch inside wont work at all - and nothing will register? There's nothing at all when turning on the pump switch...? I think we have microswitches on the taps and they are "clicking" when turned on as far as I can hear.
Ive read you can run a 12v battery across the pump terminals to check it works..is this right...? two leads straight off the van battery..?
Any help really appreciated as I'm stumped right now..lol
Thanks a lot
James
