Hi all, the symbol on the bottom right of the screen is flashing between G (battery being charged by alternator) and the symbol for plug (charging from mains).
The manual says there is a malfunction and to get it checked at a workshop.
The van is not plugged in at the moment and we are on a camp site in Devon. Any suggestions on what to do. please? Thank you
 
Try a reset of the CU first. It’s a computer after all... Switch it off and on (reset) and most issues are gone...

Yes as @bvddobb says, a reset of the control panel should do the trick, hold the round selector and back button in at same time.
 
Hi All, many thanks, we tried this and it is now fixed! Great to have this support on here.
Thank you for Reporting back. I wish everyone would do this when Forum Members Information/Tips etc: can help fix a problem.
Enjoy your trip.:thumb
 
Cheers all, I just done the same with mine! Who knew you needed to charge these batteries every now and again! Had this since new , never missed a beat and rarely hook-up!
Great forum, thank you!
 
Great website. Searched same flashing symbol and the answer given above has sorted the problem!
 
Fantastic! Just worked for us too :thumb

We took our van out for its first trip of the year earlier today, but noticed that our leisure battery was dead after a couple of months without a run. On arriving at the campsite and hooking up to the mains the battery indicator was flashing between G symbol and mains charge (exactly per the original post). We couldn't find an answer in the owner's manual, but a quick search on this forum turned up the solution - as always!

Thanks to @bvddobb for posting the fix
 
This also fixed my Flashing G problem . Thanks
 
Yes! The flashing symbols have gone, hallelujah! Now I just need to fix the water pump and find a replacement cube fuse for the leisure battery. Almost impossible to buy anywhere. Any ideas?

Hi & thanks for the tip - it has just helped me too :cool:
 
I know this is an old thread but I had the same problem after a weekend away. A quick search on here and resetting it as described above worked for me too.
