Check whether the blown fuse is a standard or a mini blade fuse (mini ones are roughly half the size), then choose the matching kit:

This fault doesn't say which fuse rating has blown, only to replace it like-for-like. Both kits cover the common ratings (5A-30A) - match the rating printed on the blown fuse.

DIY Check / Tech Fallback
N/A
No 230V output from the PSU
No or deficient supply from the site
Contact the site warden for assistance.
Professional Intervention Required
N/A
Reverse polarity warning light is illuminated on the PSU
—
This light is designed to catch a reversed/crossed live and neutral supply on UK-wired sites - if it comes on, suspect a fault with the site's own supply, or its connecting cable (outside the UK it can light up with no actual fault present, so check with the site warden). It can also light up quite normally when running from certain generators, since some centre-tap their earth connection rather than earthing the neutral directly, leaving both conductors roughly 110V above earth - usually still safe to keep using in that case, but check the generator's own handbook.
DIY Check / Tech Fallback
N/A
Control Panel has no display
—
The screen's backlight might have simply turned itself off - tap select to wake it again. If that's not it, work through the batteries and fuses, confirm both the shutdown switch and the charger switch on the PSU are set to on, and that mains is plugged in. Also check the lead running between the PSU and the back of the panel. Still nothing? Get in touch with your dealer.
DIY Check / Tech Fallback
N/A
12V power turns off unexpectedly
—
Usually the battery-protect feature has stepped in to protect the vehicle and/or leisure battery, or the engine's been started, in which case equipment is disconnected automatically to meet EMC requirements while driving.
DIY Safe
N/A
Control panel is locked or behaves erratically
—
Check you're following the control panel's own handling instructions. If the panel's software has crashed, reboot it by turning off the PSU's isolator switch, waiting 30 seconds, then switching it back on.
DIY Safe

Only if your leisure battery needs replacing - check the size, type and terminal layout of the one fitted now, and that your charger supports it, before ordering:

Leisure batteries vary by vehicle (size, capacity and type - lead-acid, AGM, EFB or lithium). This is a widely used 100Ah EFB battery, not a documented exact match for your vehicle.
