Leisure Battery Monitor

[kanya3]

Hi Guys.

I received lot of helpful advice from group members here in 2022, when we were upgrading our 120 for an eight month trip across Africa.
Thanks to all those who shared their valuable suggestions.

We had a good post trip check up, service & repairs done at Westcoastoffroad in Southport earlier in the year. They were the ones who carried out all the upgrades for us. I picked it up few months ago and only have recently realised that the monitor for leisure battery isn't working. Initially, I thought this was because Rafa hasn't been driven for a while and it would liven up after few long drives.
Unfortunately, this hasn't happened. I called up Westcoastoffroad and they have suggested that some connection must be loose and to take it an auto electrician. I live in Greenwich and have tried few numbers that come up on google search but the guys weren't even interested in having a look. May I ask any recommendations for auto electricians in Southeast London who are familiar with overland vehicles and might help with this issue?

I have attached a picture of the said monitor and a pic of us getting out of Sudan into Egypt two days before the coup there last year.

Just a thought:
These are common on camper vans too. Maybe there is a camper sales / service garage near you that could help?

It's an aftermarket gauge hence d.i.y fit , just pull it out and follow the wires back looking for a poor connection .

Why not try chasing the cables yourself? And I guess the battery this is connected to isn't 100% flat ( and/or you have checked all that side)
