Hi all is there any one that can help we just had delivery of our Hymer 644 1992/93 model but can't get any lights to work on the inside we can get electric to the 240v plugs when we hook up but nothing to the lights, we have a Elektroblock la 110 connected to the power but don't know if this is working we can get a reading from the battery 1 on the panel but nothing for the battery 2 we are new the motor homming so any help would be very welcome
thanks

there is a switch on the control panel, its a rocker switch on the right of our B544 you have to switch to 12v ein for interior 12v to work. hope it works for you.

Hello Budge,
To the left of the driver's seat, on the bulkhead above the wheel arch, there

should be a red plastic key. This isolates the 12v electrics to the living area.

Ensure the key is pointing down (vertical).

hi redwings & wizza, just run out to see and tried the red key but no look ours got a 101 panel if this helps it has starting left to right look at the panel, 1 switch, voltmeter, 3 switchs, another meter, 1 switch, as we come in to the door there are 2 switchs 1 I thinks is lights the other for the electric step, when I push the switch to battery 1 it lights up and shows 12+ volts but when I push it to battery 2 nothing happens, we tried all the switch and the key in different combinations with no joy

i know this might sound silly but has your internal bat got power 12v,and connected up, on the electro block there is a trip switch.

hi wizza
not a silly question at all, John's just took the battery off and have placed it on charge so will see tomorrow if it's the battery, the trip switch is that the 1 next to the blue box that looks like a battery charger the Elektroblock LA110, there is a 240 volt trip switch that John had to put on to get electric to the plugs or is there another one, but should it not work from the starter battery next to the engine as a friend has a talbot home and he has something called a zig which he said can be turned from cab or living area battery

on your control panel bat 1 is the engine bat, bat 2 is habitation bats the elecroblock is similar to zig it is a charger and fuse panel there should be on off switch and a trip switch and fuses for 12 volt supplys but also contain 240 volt supplys so dont take apart or you might get a shock mine is a 1997 b544 so might be differant to yours

Hi Budge,
As far as I can see there are no other trip switches.

You could try checking the 12v fuse board (situated by the isolation switch)

Reading from the top.

F1 switchbox,cooker hood,kitchen surface light 8Amp/white

F2 fan,gas boiler,rear lights,fridge ignition 8Amp/white

F3 water pump,shower light,seating group lights,cab bed lights,
driver's cab lights 8Amp/white

F4 battery charger 16Amp/red

F5 fridge 16Amp/red

F6 ammeter (appliances) 8Amp/white

F7 ammeter/voltmeter (battery 2) 8Amp/white

F8 voltmeter (battery 1) 8Amp/white

Hope this helps.
