Re: Sorting out faulty wiring - Need Help
Hi everyone
Got a 1997 Fiat Ducato 1.9TD Auto Roller Motorhome, which I bought last year for a good price as had water ingress and needed work. Been doing a lot of work renovating it and modernising it at the same time as well as sorting out all the little niggles, and bodge jobs, thinks not working etc.
Nearly complete, one of the last jobs is to sort out the mess of tangle of wires, wires joined to wires joined to wires, melted mate n lok connectors on the main unit, household twin and earth 2.5mm cable wired in.
Took the main 12v/240v Nordelettronica NE13GT_CI unit apart and had to remove the melted damaged connectors and solder in new ones, remove the added wires soldered in as a result of these damaged melted connectors 4 pins no longer were usable.
Put back together and now ready to rewire it all fresh and correctly following the user manual sent to me by Nordelettronica, along with the photo's taken before ripped everything out.
Now I understand about 95% of the wiring and what goes where. Just not sure about the wiring for the 240V fridge. The previous owner had only the live wire connected out of the 3 wires via a blade inline fuse directly to the main 12v alternator feed. Now I'm fairly sure that this not correct for the mains connection of the fridge. But just not sure of the arrangement for the 240V connection in my motorhome with the main power management/charger unit. In the instructions it shows the 12v fridge connection and translated from Italian no 12 pin of the mate-n-lok connector is for Accensione Elettronica Frigo which according to google translate means Power Electronics Fridge. (presuming this could mean fridge ignition)
So my question finally is where or how do I wire the 240V cable for my fridge? Does it connect to the main 240V consumer unit so as when on site or connected to 240V via the 3pin 16A blue plug connection on the outside powers the fridge. Or does it have to go through my Nordelettronica power unit?
