Hi we have had this caravan a couple of years and only just noticed that there is a led strip light under the microwave but it doesn't come on with any of the other lights so is it faulty or is there a switch I haven't found, anyone got the same van that can help please?

Hi. We have the same van and year. The switch for the led strip you mention is above the two power points that are over the left hand end of the worktop. It is the bottom left of the bank of four, the others being as follows:-. Top Left - Exterior courtesy lights (behind the grab handles). Top Right - Offside Service light, Bottom Right - LED strip in cupboard over sink & cooker. Hope this helps

Don't you just love caravan manufacturers! I've got 7 light switches in my van (excluding bathroom), not including the ones on individual spot lights, and I don't think any apart from the one on the main control panel over the entrance door are mentioned in the user documents! Most of them are tucked away and less than obvious where they are, let alone what they control!

On my 2016 Lunar Cosmos (dealer special Quasar), the LED strip under the eye level kitchen cupboards is switched by the RH half (IIRC! - otherwise it's LH!) of the 'split' circular switch over the power socket at right hand end of worktop. The other half of the 'split' circular switch controls the exterior service light above the battery locker etc.

Many of my OEM fitted LED lights have played up, and I've traced the fault back to poor connections at various junctions and switches. One of the problems with LED lights is they draw so little current, they can't 'blast' the connection points/switch contacts in a self cleaning way when they start to oxidise and present a high resistance. I'm afraid it's ignorance on the part of manufacturers who simply swap high current lights for low current LEDs without upgrading switches and connectors to ones more suited to very low current applications.

Try tracing the wiring to a junction point, then breaking and remaking the connections which are likely to be 1/4 inch spade connectors, that often gets things working. LEDs are polarity sensitive, so check that someone in the past hasn't tinkered and accidentally reversed the supply wires! - found that on one of my non-functional lights!

Thanks stonebank that switch operates the strip light above the kitchen but not the other side, Monty15 it would require to take the microwave out to trace the wiring, we have the TV there so don't need to illuminate there just wondering how it works.
