Shower fuse identification/Location

[Paul White]

Looking for help in locating the fuse for the outside shower. The sink tap water flow is fine.
A photo would be ideal.

It's the same pump so fuse is fine if tap runs. It will be the ball valve or the rear switch. Try reattaching shower head and shorting the switch

I isolated the switch, checked continuity with meter whilst actuating the switch, all good.
Explain ball valve.
I’ve checked for electrical power by removing both wires and there is none.
Dealership service Swansea believes that there are two fuses, one for sink and one for shower
I believe the fuse box for sink and shower is located beneath the sink area, behind a removable panel

The ball valve is what opens and closes when you plug the shower head in. I can't see why there's 2 fuses for one pump. Have you 12v to the switch? Try plugging in the shower and operating the sink tap. Does water flow? It should

I do not have 12v to the switch
Plugged in shower hose , water flows via shower hose when sink tap is actuated
I’m hoping that there is a separate fuse for the shower, otherwise it could be wire/connector issue.
I’ll look for the fuse box tomorrow and update thread

Ok, so the fuse box for the kitchenette is located beneath the floor panel of the storage cupboard directly above the leisure batteries.
There is a small plastic fitting located in the panel, which is an aid to lifting the panel upwards.
The fuse is 25 A for the tap circuit. There is also another 25A fuse which I’m hoping is for the shower switch.
So I’m still troubleshooting why I have no power at the shower toggle switch.
Water flows through the system when I operate the tap, so no blocked pipework

Unless VW have made some significant changes on the Multivan California the Water System Tap fuse is 5 amps. I do not know of any submersible pumps used in Campervans/Motorhomes that are fused at 25 amps.
Also the California water/shower system has 1 water pump and 1 electrical circuit with 1 fuse BUT 2 switches wired in parallel so that either tap or shower switch will activate the water pump.
I would check that the Shower switch works and activates the pump by shorting the switch connector behind the connection panel. Removing the shower head storage will probably give access.

If it doesn’t work then check wiring from connection panel to water pump connection on the water tank.

There are two 25A fuses, one each for tap and shower circuits, one was missing
Harness to shower toggle switch had one of the two wires broken at a connector
Rebuilt a new harness from scratch more robust and slightly longer
Tested and everything now works fine.

Where were they then?

The kitchenette fuse box for T7 is located directly above the two LiFePo leisure.
Slide back the long storage compartment door and lift the floor panel. The fuse box has two 25A fuses (plus others). Mine are clear plastic.
