Hi
seem to have a problem with the fridge ignition on my Trophy there is indication on the switch to say 12 volts is present, checked fuses in control panel fuse 3 which supplies 12 vdc to fridge and water level indicator is ok as  the water indicator back light comes on  
there is no spark to ignite fridge so i am assuming no 12volts  help please,  
 the battery indicator has also stopped working but I can find no relation to the above fridge problem

any help most graciously received

Hi this seems a long while without an answer.
Maybe you need to give some more info.
Like is it on EHU or engine running?

Regards

Um. So what was the problem then? It might be useful for us all to know just in case...

When I had my clubman I used to have this problem, the cure (if you could call it that) was to run the fridge on 12 volt for around 20 minutes and try it again it always worked for me, I presume it was damp that stopped it working, running on 12 volt would warm things up and dry the contacts, but it always worked o.k until the next time the van was laid up for a while.
