CTEX 250SE not charging

[jedkk]

I've recently wired in my ctek 250se into my van. It seemed straight forward enough to wire in. I don't seem to be getting any charge into the leisure battery though. The manual isn't the best for describing the warning lights. On start up I get the green light then when it's been running for a couple of mins the yellow light comes on as shown in the first picture. The second picture is the voltage coming from the starter battery wire into the ctex unit. The third picture is the output wire from the ctex unit into the leisure battery. This seems very low.

How is everything earthed (including the voltmeter) ?

blown fuse or bad connection on the leisure battery. . .
this should read the leisurve battery volateg - but its not.



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

measure here:

v1 should be starter battery

v2 should be leisure battery. (your v2 shows 0.5v)







.

post some pics

Ok the plot thicken, photos showing v1 and v2. The third picture is taken on the output to the leisure battery after the fuse and shows an increase in voltage. Fuse all ok

Poor earth connection on the LB?

Sorted! Blown fuse as you guys suggested. fuse looked intact, took it out to check and it fell apart. Thanks everyone for your support.

I have the same problem and i am currently waiting for a replacement fuse to arrive. I noticed from your picture that your green power light is not on, did it come back on when you replaced the fuse? My green light does not come on either and was hoping it is fuse related.

Yes, all good once I replaced the fuse. Green light back on.
