Hi,

 

My toilet light full indicator has ceased working. I think it is because the battery holder has become slightly rusty on the terminals. Can i purchase another one of these holders from a caravan shop ,i never seen one but i haven't actually looked, or would i need to go to Bailey. I would imagine these battery holders are universal. I imagine it would then be a case soldering the new holder onto the existing wiring. Any advice would be extremely welcome.

 

Thanks

Alan.

As an example.

Cut the old wires off at the holder end, and connect the old wires to the new wires.

That way you will have plenty of wire if things go wrong.

And plenty of play should you need to do the job again.

 

Had to do this on my previous caravan due to the cold weather destroying the batteries and holder.

Hope this helps

I have never been guided by the lamp.  Simply open the flap and have a peep inside, much more accurate.

Hi Surfer.

I never suggested that the flap be open for an extended period. however if you peer inside as the flap is opened during "flushing" you get an idea in regards to having to empty the cassette very soon or will the task wait till next morning.

Depends on whether there is a 'pile up' or not. Sometimes you need to take the cassette out and give it a shake to evenly distribute the waste matter. Now that is bringing this thread to a new low !!!
