Hopefully @Loz and @kurienp might see this and offer their knowledge.
I replaced the leisure batteries on my 2007 se along with a replacement solar panel from Roger Donaghue.
All working well.
Spent last weekend in North Wales with fridge working well without hook up.
I did notice that on one occasion after raising the roof with engine going the control panel read 0v.
Driving back the panel read 12.5A and 0.2A and I noticed the 0.2A intermittently read 0.4A and kept changing between the 2 readings.
Just as I got back to Bristol the message voltage plausibility fault appeared. I tried to delete it but couldn’t.
I messaged WelshGas and on his recommendation I checked leisure battery fuses, checked their readings, rear 14.8v and front 16.8v.
I tried the webasto heater which worked with the engine running but once I stopped the engine the panel and the heater stopped working.
The control panel will not stay on without the engine running and each time it does work it needs resetting.
I checked all fuses that relate to control panel and all ok. I looked under the passenger seat and other than the 80a fuse I can’t see any other fuses.
We’re meant to be away in September and clearly this is a problem if the control unit won’t stay on.
I went through the error code process but none came up.
I guess anything more technical is probably beyond me but unless there’s a few more things for me to check it looks like a specialist who knows the California.
I’ve had some very poor service from Heritage here in Bristol.
Can anyone help suggest my next move and a good specialist who can sort this out?
Many thanks
