Battery problem - 2003 Peugeot Elddis Autostratus (boxer chassis)

[Deleted member 12051]

My starting battery is dead and wondered if anyone on the forum would know where the remote jump start terminals are located.

The problem I have is .....I can’t get access to put the lead onto one of the terminals (back one as in picture)) without disconnecting a lot of electrical wires that are covering the battery. Have you got the same van as me? What happened was I hooked up to electric not knowing I had left the boiler switch on without water in the boiler. Next day the van alarm was set off with an awful smell - I believe I’ve burnt all the leisure batteries out - not sure if damaged boiler. I have no experience with electrics and wary of making more of a problem than I already have
Back to the engine battery - I have no power which is why I’m trying to get it started.

As the battery is located under the bonnet I very much doubt if there is a remote location for jump starting etc. as for hooking up with the boiler on with no water well that should have a safety cut off device built into the circuit board so no damage should occur, some have a reset button others like the Truma ultrastore are automatic once the power is turned off and the element cools down it should reset on it's own. As for the rest a job to tell without being there and able to test things etc, even if your leisure batteries have cooked it shouldn't effect the vehicle battery,

Can you hold it onto the post and let someone else hit the starter ??
