Battery Charging Peugot Boxer

[barry wilkins]

I am having a problem with the starter battery in my motor caravan, the makers info is very poor so I am struggling a bit with this.
As it is Euro 6 I think the charging is done by the ECU,not the spilt charge system with relays.
I managed to start the engine after a boost and the voltage rose to about 14 volts ,but now it is about 11.5 volts.
It is not charging by the EHU where the 12volt power supply is.
It is quite complex .
Starter battery
Liesure battery
Solar panel
BCA module with relays fuses and the power supply
The fuse in the manual that is shown to charge the battery is not connected to the battery?
The lead I think is to charge the battery goes somewhere and I think it goes to the computer.
On the liesure battery there are 2 black leads wihich must go to the chassis,and 2 red leads one definitely goes to the relay panel ,the other one dissapears some where ,I think this going to land up some in the engine compartment.
Any body got expirence on this subject ?

Thanks

First thing you need is the wiring diagram for the model number and year of this Peugot Boxer before you can really troubleshoot the problem

If you can find the wiring diagram for it and can post it I might be able to to help you with it

Got to the bottom of it.
A fuse in the power feed from the battery,no mention of it anywhere.

The fuse was blown?

I've read there is a red button near the ignition switch to disconnect the battery (-) in the event the vehicle is sitting in storage.

Re: Battery Charging Peugot Boxer

It was a poor conection.
Yes the van has a Tyco isolator relay that disconnects most of the electronics to stop the battery discharging.
I understand this is a bistable relay
My old van was a Ducato ,I fitted a 100A switch in the lead from the battery to the fuse box to stop thuis from happening.
