No power in rear socket

Post by Gripped » Fri Dec 27, 2019 7:37 pm

Hi all

There's no power in the rear socket (ciggy lighter). Our Bongo has has the original inverter and 2 pin socket also, but there's no power to any of it. The front ciggy lighter works fine, so it's not the main fuse (fuse 8 ). Plus the fusible link seems to be intact. I've tested the incoming connector blocks but no power there either.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance. :)

The only connectors in between the fuses and the sockets are the larger loom connectors so its unlikely to be them X-05 and X-15

Thanks Geoff.

I'll try and work out which module is at fault.

Does the rear socket also have the fusible link built into the rear of the socket? - if so it could be that

Hi. Yes the fusible link seems OK. There doesn't seem to be any power on the incoming wiring. So will check the loom. Front ciggy is fine.

Same has happened to me tonight. Everything working fine except the rear sockets (USB, ciggy, 13 amps) all gone. Fridge, water pump, blinds, everything else all still working fine. I've tried following the wires but it is all hidden in the conversion and I'm not keen on pulling things out until I've exhausted easier tests... Gripped - did anything work for you?

As I’m now the owner of gripped’s bongo I can answer and the answer was to run a new live and earth. I’ve since connected them to my other 12v sockets circuit now it has my conversion in
