Weird Electrical Problem 2002 Motorhome (NOW SORTED OUT)

Hi All
Just joined but have used this site many years ago. Ive got a 2002 jtd 2.8 autotrail chieftain motorhome. This exhibited a strange electrical problem earlier this year. When moving from one camp site to another. The central locking stopped working locking me out, the heater fan motor stopped working and the reversing camera stopped working. Ive checked fuses. Turned ignition on off, started engine eventually by using the reset fob for the scorpion alarm. Then the problem cleared. Moved to new site, parked and it did it again. I think it must be a relay. But where and which one!! Im flumoxed without a clue what to do. Hope someone here has a clue or even better an answer.

Hi All
Right just removed dash where fuse box is. Ignition on, touched wiring under relays. Fans started, reversing camera on. No problem with starting/central locking. Turned off ignition, no fans etc. Central locking still ok. Touched wiring, everything working. Traced it to red relay in center of relay block. Pulled pushed reseated, meanwhile fans on off on off etc. Afterwards fans, reversing camera all working. Loose relay!! Still dont know what the central locking thing was though. Hopefully just a glitch.

Glad it seemed that simple..

Do you think 'reset' actually did anything?

Is this the 1st trip in a while.. or is this completely 'out of the blue' ?
