By pilot light do you mean the the battery light(s)? You're suffering from a) bad supply to the kitchen (in particular check that the fuse is making good contact); b) bad ground to the kitchen; or c) bad panel. A and B are likely; C is not -- except that if the solder has failed on the little switch it may be causing the problem. With water pump on, measure voltage at both terminals of fuse. If both low, the problem is between there and the fridge relay under the seat and the battery. (Bentley 97.32b, tracks 23-24. With water pump on, measure voltage *on terminal* at each side of fuse, should be very small -- a few tenths of a volt maybe at most. If large, there's your problem. With water pump on, measure voltage at panel supply (double red wire plugged into orange). If it isn't good you've got trouble between there and the fuse. If it's bad at the terminal, see what is is in the wire an inch away from the terminal (use a sewing needle). If that's good then the trouble is the actual terminal on the double-red. Let us know the results. Yours, David |
