Update.. Had a trip to Salisbury over weekend, step still works as it should. Thoughts are dirty/corroded connection. Again many thanks for replies 👍

You Tube shows four screw holding plate to floor and all comes out as one unit. Gas connection and flue connection best to renew sealing washers.. Loads of videos on there, watch a load, you will feel more confident. Have you got good gas flow ? regulators can get clogged with oil from gas bottles.

Many thanks. You are probably correct. After disconnecting spraying and re connecting, step now works. See what happens after a bumpy drive..

My thought was if wire was damaged and when load applied current strong enough to arc to ground or ground via another wire. Hopefully it was a high resistance connection and sorted. Which ever way, as it's now working I'll leave unless it fails again. Thanks for reply.

Update. Step working, lights work on cab and hab battery. Cannot check anything now, as it works. I think I got a bit hung up on lights dimming . That was the load side of solar being pulled down. I disconnected all electrical joins under bonnet, sprayed with electrical contact cleaner. I pin...

Yes panel is just a few switches in a piece of metal. All three feeds go to it. Checked for power no current on permanent cab live. Update. Visual check of loom showed only one scuff mark . Removed outer conduit. No marks on wires. I tried pin testing along loom first site under hab by...

Thank you for the reply. I will try tomorrow . The step and fridge are fed of the same fuse, by the split relay, bolted to the scuttle. But that is the auto retract when engine started. Which worked to retract the step after the switch didn't work The switch feed is from a fuse in the same...

Thanks for reply, I have a plan to check voltage at pin where it connects to the AC85 control panel, then work back from there, or forward depending on result.

Hi thanks for reply, I will drown it in GT 85 tomorrow and check. But the same symptom occurred when turning the internal LED roof lights on. And step came out ok and retracted with engine start up. Then stopped operating. New cab battery is the same. Van starts on the button. Before and after...

Hi thanks for reply. New cab battery on today. terminals tight and corrosion free. My thought was old tired battery. New battery same symptoms.

Thank you for reply. I've Isolated solar with breaker. Lights work on leisure battery. My first thought was bad cab battery, about 12 years old. Replaced cab battery with new. Symptoms are the same. Unfortunately the omni step does not get power from leisure battery, It is purely cab powered...

Hi, after a bit of insight. I went up MH to do a check around. Omni step came down on command. Checked volts for Cab and Leisure, both showed full 13+v on solar. Exited van the step would not retract. Started van buzzer sounded and step retracted. Step would not come down on command. Tried...

Designed to mothball aircraft in America. Advertised as safe on electrics, electronics. The only warning I have come across is it will attack natural rubber. But I would mask alternator belt for risk of slipping anyway. I've been using ACF50 as underseal for about 10 years. Reapplied every year...

I think it is to stop people choosing a garage 20 miles away when there is a usable garage within 10 miles

I've always used contact adhesive. Put a blob in gap squash together, let it separate, leave for 5ish mins (until touch dry/tacky). Then press firmly together. It's a rubber glue, so excess can be peeled off or wiped off with cloth damped with nail varnish

Jayes fluid around the tyres is a good deterrent

Usually my quotes last 30 days. I use staveley head. It was £100 difference between on road and in compound.

How can you tell if an elephant has been in your fridge? Footprints in the butter.

Why have elephants got big ears? Because Noddy won't pay the ransom

At the end of the day you run snow chains only on drive wheels. So fitting a non snow/all seasons tyre to get you to a garage at 25mph in snow will be the same as the snow chains on one axle scenario
