I removed my domestic fridge the other day (I have an outboard electric fridge and so bought and installed an 'eliminator kit' from Gowesty - now, instead of a small fridge I have a great big cupboard). Between the Bentley manual and the Gowesty instructions, the removal of the fridge was not too hard. It is suggested that one pulls the ground from the battery while working (ie removing) electrical items but as the ground on my auxiliary is a pain to pull, I pulled both fuses from the secondary galley fuse box (the red and white fuses found in the box behind the drivers seat). When the shelf kit was installed, the fuses put back in, and everything cleaned up I went through everything to make sure it all worked and low and behold, the faucet does not! I can't quite see where I would have interrupted live power to the water pump - does it possibly ground through the fridge?? I have replaced both fuses with the thought that a) one or the other was in poor shape already or b) I damaged it when removing or reinstalling. This has not fixed the problem. Any suggestions what I might have inadvertently done, or how best to rectify the situation? Devin 1987 Westfalia "Milou" Vancouver, B.C. |
