Jayco 25Ft Silverline
I have found the Tow Secure Switch (Sealed Unit on The Draw Bar)
I have the Wireless receiver in the car
I cannot see hide nor hair of the Control Module
Please help as haven't used this thing for 12 months and Breakaway system won't work. Believe flat, but if I can't find it I can't charge it!!

I believe you can charge it through pin 5 blue wire and the white earth wire pins 3 & 10.

Thanks Paul, But doesn't tell me where it is.

I appreciate that Gary but you did mention not being able to charge it if you couldn't find it biggrin

In our Sterling it is in the bottom of the bedside hanging space.

There are so many layouts that I guess it could be different in each one.

Lie down on the floor in front of the oven, open the drop down cupboard door under the oven. look inside at the cupboard partition nearest the sink. There it is, easily accessable and easy to read?

240v socket also there to connect up the charge power supply.

Paul,

How right you are. It seems that Jayco follow no set pattern. I've found when comparing my van to others purchased within weeks of each other we have different positions for the same types of things. e.g. Fuses etc. This thing is supposedly easy to access and thefore capable of using a plug in charger (supposedly supplied, albeit in my case wasn't) to restore it after prolonged periods of non use.

Thankyou. Gave me a clue. In mine NOT UNDER THE OVEN, but in cupboard to the left of the fridge. The actual unit is mounted on the Right Hand Side facing the front of the van making it impossible to read. Just have to rely on LED colours, Plugged in a power board and transferred 2 leads (1 White & 1 Black) to this as well. Tried to find out what these did but couldn't. Will just wait until something breaks and start the research again.

I was going to say that's where it is. LOL. Jayco do have consistency but the position differs between van layouts. A green colour is all you need to see when pushing the test button. Don't know what you mean by black and white leads but the charging takes place from a 240V supply. (Transformer supplied with new vans and available from Jayco dealers). Leave that plugged in to the nearby 240V power outlet and switched on. This way, whenever you connect your van to mains it will charge.
