As I said there is always a reason, glad you finally sorted it. Phil Very odd though as the two 155s that I have installed in the past both switch on and off the front and rear light power when the power switch is operated.

Just as thought do the other lights extinguish when the power button is pressed off? It could be if they do but the touch sense lights don't that the touch lights have a capacitor and don't turn off immediately till the capacitor has disopated. Have you waited any time after you have pressed...

I think you will have to do as I suggested in cutting the slate wire close to the unit, that way you know for sure that there is no other connections in the circuit and if it still does not go on and off with the power button there has to be a fault in the unit itself. If it does go on and off...

When you say you re earthed it, are you saying that there was a short to earth then?

Ok change the fuse and get your multi meter and check the slate wire with it, disconnect all lights, if poss cut the slate wire close to the unit and check that it is operating as it should, make sure you don't cut it too short give yourself enough wire to rejoin it after you've checked it out...

If it's blown a fuse it must be earthing out between the unit and the lights I'd have thought.

Is this a secondhand unit? Did you have the wiring all ready set up to the 12volt multi plug and all you had to do was plug in the multiple or did you have to physically add the pins to the wire and make the plug up yourself.

Are the touch sense lights the only lights you have fitted? It is odd that when you press the power button on the 155 unit that should turn all 12volt power off other than the Radio wire. So it would seem that the lights are getting power from another source, which seems most unusual. However...

2 possibilities. 1) are your touch sense led lights pos/ neg sensertive ( Some led lights can be wired up either way round and others will only work if pos is connected to positive terminal on light unit) 2) Sounds silly but are they earthed correctly, i.e. is the earth your using actually...

Ebay is a good go to I find, they defo do handles rollers and runners etc for Ducato sliding doors. Really depends what you mean by ' Catch " . Phil

Few pics. Floor now completed and ceiling with all the lights fitted. The floor was brilliant and easy to fit with sticky backed floor tiles a bit like Carnion floor tiles that I put down in my van but at a third of the cost, these cost £54 for the complete floor of a medium wheelbase Ducato...

Morning Phil, Yes your right of course but I have to take into account the purchase costs. Initially I proposed to my daughter that an exchange 6kg Calor would be fitted and then looked at the cost of even getting a secondhand cylinders's cost ( Have you looked recently ) it's horrendous, not...

Cieling and floor now in place, all lights now working and in their correct location, tomorrow I'll start on the furniture. Phil

Yes indeed Trev, initially I thought they were in Wales Bangor until I heard his accent and he told me they were in Bangor Northern Ireland. Have to say they gave me exceptionally good service. Phil

Continuing on, today the Gaslow 6kg bottle and filling kit arrived from Hamiltons in Northern Ireland, they were considerably cheaper than other suppliers and it was only a two day delivery. This meant that I could now fit the fill valve and the water fitting. The area that was available for...

Making slow but steady progress over the last two weeks, I've now as can be seen in the photos now placed the cieling up with all the associated wiring for the lights. The lights apart from the rear heki lights are not in their final place as I've just double taped them up conveniently so I can...

Just as quickie today, I had fitted a rearview/reverse camera built into the rear high stop light unit and a clipped on monitor to the rear view mirror ( Which I had to purchase separately). I'd picked up both the monitor and the camera power from a random electrical block hanging around by...

Morning Paul, I can't actually point you at a particular Motorhome but I do recommend that you look at the " Quirky motorhomes " site as there is regularly 7.5 ton vehicles partially or fully built for sale on there, and may have lift facilities included. It's worth keeping an eye on it. Phil.

Still at it slowly, just a couple of photos of the rear side windows with 4mm ply affixed almost ready for stretched carpet covering, spent a couple of hours yesterday separating all the coloured 12v wiring from their corrugated conduit, I believe as I mentioned before that there is more than...

For those that are about to embark on a van build, all I can really advise is to measure once measure twice measure three times. Test your results physically with what you are fitting, and if your happy with the result cut that panel out with confidence, but always in the back of your thoughts...
