It sounds like you haven't got something switched on like the car/van switch , also check the supplying voltage to the caravan pump socket .

I was going to say the same thing. Have you remembered to turn it on?

sounds like a fuse has blown,when the pump has been stood for some time they can stick.when you switch on the first thing to go is the fuse because the impeller is not turning. clean both terminals on each side of the pump housing.

the only silly question is the one you do not ask.

There is a seperate 10A fuse for the pump. Also a switch for the pump. Also the pressure switch might have gone.

Shortly after I bought our caravan the waterpump supplied with the van died overnight - was working when we went to bed, was broken when we got up. I now carry a spare - not cheap, but a complete pain if it goes on site and you face a long trip to a dealer.

Seeing as the pressure switch is just a switch ( not taking the micky here ) could you just by pass the switch with a piece of wire to test , or check the supply going to the switch as this should be reading 12 volts all the time .

I have a similar problem. Neither my water pump, lights or the battery charger are working on my Bailey Ranger 550/6.
Also there is no movement in the 12v switch display (showing zero). All these appliances run off 12 volts. All fuses have been checked. Now the battery is flat. Any ideas plse?
Does sound like the power supply unit is faulty .

its possible your charger has failed.and the reason your battery is flat.your 12 volt should work without a battery connected. is your EHU cable working ie.do you have 240v to the lights,plugs ect?they have been known to fail.check all 15 and 10 amp fuses.

Wizard, I'll check this out.
Thanks for all the replies. I'll update when I have found the cause.
I'd agree with Wizard and will be interested to learn of result. Pressure switch does simply switch the 12v when lower pressure dedected and can easily be by-passed to prove by pulling spade fittings off and linking together temporarily.
