Hi, wondered if anyone had any insight on this?
I have a swift / autocruise 66 plate forte which is based on the fiat ducato maxi van.
Had it from almost new and never any problems ever until recently where it’s developed a strange electrical fault.
Basically when I drive it there’s a huge draw on the van battery, so big in fact that loads of errors start apprearing on the dash board such as check power steering, check abs etc etc. eventually the engine will just cut out and battery will be totally flat. Replaced all the obvious bits like the cab and leisure battery, alternator.
A mechanic that came out to look at it yesterday put a multi meter on the cab battery and it was fluctuating between 4 and 11 volts.
Has anyone had anything similar? Pretty sure it’s the cab/ vehicle wiring as opposed to the camper conversions wiring.
Thanks, paul
