Yes in general that's right, its not that they can't be dimmed but simply increasing the resistance / reducing the current won't work for most modern lighting systems as it does with filament bulbs.mikeonb4c wrote:Am I right in saying that LEDs, fluorescent tubes etc. won't work with dimmers?

Re: Radio and ciggy lighter fuses
In the wiring diagram you just linked the original text shows the 15A fuse as 9 and the 10A fuse is marked 4, Humm ? http://www.g8dhe.net/bongo_images/fuse1.png http://www.g8dhe.net/bongo_images/fuse8.png Maybe you haven't zoomed in and seeing the Japanese text which does look a bit like a 4 and a ...

Re: ROOF WONT GO DOWN !!!
Have you checked the second fuse ?
There are two fuses which might stop the motors running;
The first one is middle row 4th from left, 30 amp
The second one is middle row 2nd from left, 15 Amp
If both have blown then I would want to find out why !

The normal starter battery is about 95Ahr and the a leisure battery can be any capacity you like, the restrictions are more to do with size a...

Re: a strange series of electrical events ?
Have you checked the top left fuse position, I say it that way as it will have moved to the willinton fuse box, that is the fuse that controls the radio and ECU power ?

Re: a strange series of electrical events ?
Regarding the "Fuse 1"(BF style) that feeds 11 different things! Including the ECU and its that which causes the flashing lights.
I will shortly be adding the complete list of which fuse feeds what on the online manual, just working out the best format to display the information in.

Re: a strange series of electrical events ?
Lots of symptoms there, I think I would start with something that could be common to all of them and that would be the battery -ve connections to the chassis.
After that there seems to be implications of more than one fault.

Re: Leisure battery ready 1.0v
Sounds very much like the L/B isn't being charged. Check out the two in-line fuses from each battery to the relay, they are often the cause of the problem - if you need to replace them first charge the L/B as otherwise you may blow it again.
