Fjord 725SE - Electrical

[paulbutt]

Fjord 725SE Electrical failure on several domestic circuits. Fuses OK and power at the particular unit. Seems to be a problem with the negative side of the circuit. Unfortunately I have no information on the boats electrics. Can anybody help with this problem?

Try running a new negative cable from appliance to negative busbar

Thanks, you may well be right about running a new negative feed. Unfortunately there are three negative wires from the master switch to a three way connector which is situated above the main fuse carrier. The circuits that are down are the fan, navigation lights, wipers and a couple of cabin lights. I would just like to be sure that there isn't something silly that I've missed in my checks.

Thanks Wiggo, yes its Domino with the type of problem that I'm sure you have long since stopped worrying about. Look forward to seeing you this weekend.

I dont know if you are any good with a volt meter, you could try carrying out voltage drop checks at various conections. this must be done with loads on and anything over 0.5 Volts is not good and showing high resistance or open circuit. good luck and if you need any more help, no probs

did you get anywhere, Paul? Find the other earth blocks? If not, try reposting on MoBo Chat - maybe someone like Divemaster might have an idea where to look.
