FRIDGE IGNITER NOT WORKING

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

When you say that the fridge igniter is not working, does the light flash when the gas & 12v are both on? You should also hear the igniter clicking, presumably this is not happening? 

Are you trying to run these 12v systems from the hab battery & if so it is fully charged. It would also be worth plugging into a mains supply and see if the Zig (or whichever system is fitted to your van) is supplying a 12v feed. Worth also checking all fuses & circuit breakers to make sure none have fused or tripped.

Hi NigelS
thank you for your reply, I have checked the Items you suggested and all seems ok my zig control unit is a MC4000M which is probably the original one, went back into van today and switched on fridge no spark so left that on and switched on and off the the main 12volt isolation switch and noticed a flash from  the fridge switch, so carried on with main isolation switch and everything came back on fridge, battery condition meter so I wondering if the iso switch may be faulty.
just a side issue when removing the control panel there is a taped up red wire quite a thick one just laying at the back, what I need is a wiring diagram of the actual control unit so I can see where this one came from.
thanks again

Hi mike.  Was it you who asked for help re the zig?   I'm not sure whether my reply got to you.  If it didn't, I just offered help but you would have to tell me more about your needs......

Whereabouts in the country are you?   We're on the south coast.

Hi Mike can you send me email address for diagrams.

I will get the whole document scanned, however this will be next week.
