wi have a 1991 abi ace ambassador, i took the battery out to charge yesterday and decided to put back in today, only problem is i put the battery in back to front, i.e negative connector on positive terminal, positive connector on negative terminal, it was like this for no more than a couple of minutes but now i have no power to my lights, i changed the battery back to the correct way,
i have power to the control panel where my battery meter is, when i turn the switch to lesuire battery the indicator dial goes to full and my aerial dish thing although it has never found a signal if i turn it on a red light appears on it so i guess it has power,
have checked every fuse i can find, under the front seats behind the the battery is is where all my 12v and 240 v fuses are, i have a small fuse box with the following 12v fuses 2 x 25 amp, 2 x 15 amp and 2 x 5 amp, i checked them all and they all looked fine but bought and fitted new ones anyway which didnt change anything
ontop of the battery charger are 2 x 20 amp fuses, again these look fine but i didnt have any new 20 amp fuses so put in 30 amp fuses with no change either
the only other fuses i can see are my 240v fuses, ther is 1 main fuse and 2 next to it which i havent touched as i dont think they would be the cause
have had a look around the van and cant find any other fuses
read a thread about a guy who did the exact same thing with the exact same problem and he fixed by replacing the batteries 20 amp fuse which is meant to be behind or near battery, i have looked in battery compartment, and behind abttery from inside van but can only find the 2 20amp fuses that are on top of charger
am going to hook the van upto the mains now and will post back any findings
i dont have a volt meter so cant test where power is getting to and where it isnt and fairly new to caravans so i could be missing something simple
any help would be greatly appreciated
EDIT
plugged in mains and switched to mains power all 12v working, turn mains off no 12v working
