Having problems with the Autocruise control panel fitted to my Peugeot Sarasota motorhome.
Picked up the 2005 'van in August 2010 from Brownhills and have been using it quite often since. However, twice I have had to reset the control panel that controls distribution for both 230v ac and 12v dc battery power.
I understand that the unit switches off 12v supply to the habitation area once the engine has started, but I have had the occasional problem that the unit does not allow 12v to come back on when the engine is switched off, instead I get an intermittent tone and the unit 'reads' something like, "engine started, electrics immobilised" .
I have had to find, remove and replace it's fuse in order for it to work properly, which can be a bit of a pain, as I have to get under the bonnet of the vehicle to do it. This has happened in the dark and cold which caused me to accidentally drop the fuse into the engine department!!!!
I intend to take the vehicle back to Brownhills, but wondered if anyone else has had this problem with their control unit so that I may go to Brownhills forearmed with information that may assist them.
I am well aware of some peoples views on Brownhills after reading a previous sorry story, so I want to make sure that it is not just me operating the unit wrongly, and maybe even avoid taking my 'van into them in the first place.
