13.8 without a fuse in? Are you on the right fuse? Wiggling the board may have sparked it into life.

Cheers all. Everything works without the fuse in. Just worried it may have been dangerous 😳

Even I know if you remove a fuse from a circuit then that circuit should become isolated. If not then you have gremlins at work

it all works, because you are now running from the transformer, you ned to check your supply to the charger, if that shows power to it then its your battery at fault (which is generally the case at this time of year with all these type of battery related questions).

As a very easy check you can unplug the ehu and if you still have 12 volt power it is coming from the battery. If the battery is low the lights etc will be dim and the voltmeter will be low.
Plug EHU back in and if voltmeter goes up to 13.8 volts it means the charger is working.
It could simply be dirty contact at the fuse and you have cleaned it by wiggling and removing etc.
