N + B (or Hymer) battery output meter not woking
Hi I have just bought a fairly new (14 k miles ) 2003 N + B Arto. The vehicle is fairly standard with no new electrical equipment. The control panel has a rocker switch that should read the vehicle battery in position 1 and the leisure in position 2.
It is currently ( my attempt at a pun ) not reading the vehicle battery. I do get a reading in position 1 when I am on EHU. It has been suggested that it may be a broken connection or blown fuse from the vehicle battery. I have had another look at the vehicle battery and I cant find any obvious fuse or circuitry.
Should I switch ( another poor pun ) my search for the fault.

need help then read this !!!
ok steve ! can you clear up some issues for me , you say you can read the instument on checking battery 1 !yes but when you rock the switch to check battery 2 you have no reading , yes am i right 8O .
if this is the schaut system , then you will have 2 glass fuse,s as said by some previous , you can also check where your batteries are found the leisure battery should be fused , check it ,
the other gauge will read the amps coming in when the engine is running , also when you are on hook-up . the amps coming in gauge is the rate of charge to your batteries ,
the rocker switch you speak of just tells you how much battery you have in each battery rocker 1 is the starter side rocker 2 is the leisure side ,
i have twice replaced my amps gauge 2 campers i owned the one now being the last. and it is twice as much cheaper to buy direct from schaudt posted too. their is also a new part number for this item which over ride,s the old one although it is the same part ,
their is also a little circuit board their too, so it could possibly be a diode ! but don,t go their yet that is the worst , and i doubt very much it will be that,
so can you be precise which gauge do you speak of battery state +. or amps gauge cannot see the gauges to small , to see but i know what you mean , is the battery 1rate/ and battery 2 rate/ gauge on the left and the amps gauge on the right as you look at it , sorry for the very long prep lol!!.
all the best , denton.

Re: need help then read this !!!
It is as you say .
There is no reading to the main vehicle battery (position 1) when the vehicle is NOT recieving either charge from the engine or on hook up.
So I get no reading for the condition of the battery.
Thanks.
