Hi I have 1995 2.5td I've only had it 3 weeks loving it. I seem to have some electrical gremlins. Initially the light in my pop top didnt work but does now, the little light inside the back of the van wasnt working i changed the bulb still nothing now is suddenly working. For the last 3 days the central locking has stopped working. I changed the fuse but this has not fixed it. Any ideas? Thank you :? Sarah

Do you have a leisure battery fitted?
If so it was probably flat but has been charged by a few runs.

Hi I dont think I have a leisure battery, there are 2 batteries but i think 1 is for winter starting or something like that. Can you tell me what you mean by door loom and where to find it, how will i know if there is a problem there would it be obvious?

big black clump of wires comes out of door and goes into cab hard to miss

usually cannot see damage without chopping it open
