Hi folks. Since February I have been the proud owner of a VW T5 California 2005. There is however a voltage problem in the camper unit, which I have no idea how to solve.
The problem is as follows:

The problem is as follows:
- According to Control unit the batteries are flat or nearly flat (12,1 volts or less) This is basically the case regardless if the motor running or not, or whether it is connected to 230 volt.
- Neither webasto or fridge works
- Webasto does often work, but will also often cut (when display unit show 9,5 volts or lower)
- Fridge always kicks out (normally when display unit shows 10,5 volts or less). It does however take longer before it kicks out if the fridge is set to 7 than 3 degrees.
- (As far as I know, both the Webasto and fridge unit is programmed to cut if voltage drops too far)
- At times, also the control unit dies out whenever the voltage drops too far (below aprox 9,5 volts)
- Shunt fix is made to perfection
- Both batteries are brand new and show 12,7 volts when measured on multimeter
- Voltage measured on electric socket (named U Electric socket (12 Volt) in self study programme 329) shows 12,7 volt
- lights flickering When starting webasto
- N162 has gone bonkers (it does sound strange, seen as this is merely a metal plate with constant resistance)
- There is some sort of wiring fault between N162 and control unit
Best,
Erik
