For the benefit of any Newbies with a flushing issue. 1) This video only relates to toilets with a separate flush tank. Toilets which use the main water pump to flush with water from the main water tank are very different. 2) The common cause of the impeller getting jammed is black flakes forming in the flush tank. The major cause of black flakes is leaving the flush tank standing with a solution of pink fluid in when not in use. a) Drain the flush tank at the end of each break; b) If it will be unused over winter, flush the flush tank with plain water before draining.

Mine is C262 model. The fuse is in the main 12volt fuses under Sprite caravan seat. It turned out to be the tiny pump in the cistern was seized and just needed a spin with pointed tool. I accessed the pump by peeling back the label on the flush switch and prising out the switch assembly. Then remove the 2 screws and pull up the pipes with the pump on the end. Surprising how much scale and bits had accumulated in the pump impeller. Thanks for giving me some clues 👍

At 2:00 a degreaser is sprayed on the fuse. By itself this will do nothing. Any grease or dirt on the pins will not be removed unless you use a clean cloth to wipe off the grease that will have been dissolved by the de-greaser. Also you really shouldn't spray the solvent onto your bare skin.

It's testing where you have power, start at the power coming in or on both sides of the power, then if you have power getting to the board? Then pressing the button and do you have power to the pump wires. It could be the wiring harness if you have power getting to the board. The little white connector that goes on the board could be faulty and needs replacing if you have power getting to the board. Hope this helps.

Multimeter shows -13V (minus) when I check red and black wires. Why minus? Is it normal? Anyway my problem is if I switch on main power switch in the campervan, that c250 PCB heats up quickly and would probably melt if I won't switch of main power. What can be wrong? Polarity? Or PCB dead?

Yes the minus is saying the positive and negative are wrong, if u swap the prongs over so red goes to black and black to red, it will read correct if it is wired wrong. You will need to try and find where the power comes from and see the supply to the toilet is wired wrong?

told my dad about this video, checked the fuse first and it was corroded so he cleaned it and tested it with multi meter and it was completely dead so we are fairly sure that it is that. We've also recently replaced the grey and orange toilet cassette as that had also broken (the opening ring blade mechanism had corroded/split so we believe that the toilet must have leaked because the cassette was broken and the fuse has got wet which would explain the corrosion. Not 100% sure where to get a replacement though.
