Hi,
I have a 2109 T6 150bhp Highline converted from new by Nomad and new to me 1 year ago.
I had some glow plugs replaced last week at the garage and the next day when I tried to start the van the starter battery was too low to crank. It was new last year (AGM) as was the alternator and leisure (AGM) so assumed it was the constant starting and cranking with the glow plugs issue.
Jump started first time from a starter pack and drove and restarted 100%. I have a Sargent power unit for hookup and a Sterling 1230 B2B with an Ablemail ATM for bi-directional. On plugging into hookup I noticed 240v power in the van okay, leisure showing 100% on the battery monitor but on the Sargent control panel, the starter battery flashes red with one led only lit. I then noticed that the Sterling B2B had zero lights on.
I’m thinking I may have fused something when jumping.
Reseated all connections and checked the fuse on the Sterling. Then all the fuses from the leisure battery positive terminal (all good) and then the ones from the starter battery. I found one 20amp blown on a non-factory red wire from the positive on the starter battery. Replaced and no difference(and still wondering what the hell it feeds as everything worked in the van yesterday!). There is only one other 40amp inline fuse coming off the positive starter terminal on a very heavy gauge wire which I assume runs to the Sterling B2B which I’d like to test but multimeter battery dead & will test that when back from travelling for work later in the week.
I just wanted to check i am not missing anything obvious? Where does the Sterling unit draw its power? It isn’t obvious.
Anyone any ideas? TIA
