Hi everyone,
New here so please excuse me if this topic has already been covered.
My pathfinder has developed a fault where the interior lights and fridge are not working either by mains powered or on the battery. Heater and all sockets including the 12v ones still work. Has anybody any idea or come across the same issue?
Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Have a look at the MCB's (Miniature Circuit Breakers) to see if one of them has tripped as most likely the fridge and the 240 volt mains lights are on the same circuit. The water heater and 3 pin sockets are most likely connected to the other circuit which explains why one circuit is working and the other isn't. The 2 MCB's will be in a box identical to the circuit breakers at home which could be either under a seat or in a cupboard out of sight.

Hi. Thank you for the reply. Sorry I should have mentioned in the original post, I have checked the MCB and nothing has tripped. Even switched them off and back on again to see if they would reset but nothing. I’ve tried to check the fuses but they have a clear plastic protection cover over which I can’t see how to remove. It will be simple I’m guessing once I know how lol

The clear plastic protection cover over the gang of fuses has two securing tangs protruding that clip into corresponding slots in the base which are either at each side or top and bottom (I can't remember which). Just press in slightly then lift the plastic cover off.

Thank you for your advice, I will give that a try. Hopefully just a blown fuse 🤞

Check underneath the trailer as there are cables and earth connections that might be damaged
