T6 Ocean 12v Socket wiring diagram

[Paul Roe]

does anyone have a wiring diag for the 12v socket on the side of the kitchen?
i seem to be getting voltage drop if i pug in anything more than a couple of amps
do you know where the fuse if for it? or is there a regulator or something that limits the current?

SH2 - 15A - Purely wired off the leisure batteries, but clearly lots of other loads are as well, so voltage drop will depend on the loads also hung off all the shared pre fuse wiring and the lengths/csa of the cable and number of in-line connects - 12v sockets are very much at the end of a lot of power / earth wires that support all the camping functions. (as per @sidepod comments on other post today) - 0.5v-1v would certainly not be unexpected with some loads, over 2v would start to make me suggest a lot of down stream loading / bad batteries or an issue. FYI cigar sockets are horrible things, so make sure the actual socket and plug are in really good condition before looking elsewhere.

@Tompoole - similar post to yours as well.

There is a large inline connector under the kitchen unit that we have had a few reports of corrosion and the vast majority of the camper kitchen wiring goes through it.

T6 Dead control panel - fridge control?

So, recently bought a pre-loved 2018 Cali T6 Ocean 4Motion. After a couple days, the control unit display went dead, same symptoms as this thread https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/threads/control-panel-dead-on-2017-ocean.38599/ After a day of not working, it came back alive, then dead again another...

Thanks for reply.
It’s only the control panel and 12v sockets in camper part , the front 12v registers solar feed but rear 12v do not.

I will go through all rear camper earths and fuses next weekend when I have a bit of spare time , aux batteries are fully charged and also taking charge from solar…… Will check EHU , earths , heater and fridge later need to fix the landy first …. Bloody cars !
