Thanks for all the diagrams and info which I am sure will enable to sort the problem. Why have I got the problem? --- because whilst sorting out my " through the towing socket" battery charging the needles on my ammeter managed to touch one another. I do not know how I managed it, but one minute I had a full "12v" reading and then zero.
I will let you know which fuse is the culprit (other than me that is!)

It might save a lot of faffing if the OP was able to post the reason for thinking the particular feed is not live. Some of this is getting to clever for its own good and only works when it thinks a trailer is plugged in.



Embarassed Ooops sorry Navigator only trying to help Big Cry its not the trailer its the car thats clever, the 12v tow pack relay stops the car battery discharging if the trailers connected and the fridge is on in the tin tent Embarassed

We’ve probably all done it at some point, easily done, and easily fixed its got to be fuse 48

Too dark and too cold to go out to garage. Dentist in the morning but will give the result later. Once again thanks for all the input. Very helpful!!

Even more complicated as trailer also switches interior lights in certain power conditions. The Caravan Club have a 31 page handout on trailer wiring.

The "up the bum" charging is a lot simpler!
