Factory electrical problem

M Cooper All Messages By This Member #25822 Hi, My 450 is now 5 years old and it has been a great boat. It is a 230V/50Hz ship and I have wired my own LPG safety system into the boat and have therefore not used SG1 power from the 'spare' switch on the electrical panel for this purpose. Recently, I found a use for the 'spare' (LPG in the US version) switch. To my surprise when switching the switch on it immediately tripped the associated 10A breaker/fuse. My question is:- I have traced the fault to the wiring downstream of plug 211 (a 23 wire connector). 211 resides under the stove area just aft of the house water pump. Disconnecting the plug 211 solves the problem and I can therefore prove that the short circuit is downstream of this point. My problem is that it appears the short is aft of the bulkhead, somewhere under the port cockpit seating area, just outboard and aft of the gas bottle enclosure. The only access to this area appears to be from the trim panels in the port aft stateroom. Does anyone have any ideas on how to unsnap the panels. I have tried everything I can think of without damaging them but they are on tight!! Thanks, Martin

The screws were located under the rubber weather seal for the seat lid. If your L450 LPG storage area is similar, you might be able to unscrew and lift it out to gain access below.? Hope that helps... Tim toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Aug 24, 2018, at 3:22 PM, M Cooper via Groups.Io <macme8@...> wrote: Hi, My 450 is now 5 years old and it has been a great boat.

PaulinOz #25824 Take the square chrome covers of the LED roof lights, I recently noticed some screws through the roof panels hidden by the light trim in my L450F circa 2013. I have not removed them but my guess would be they are helping to hold up the panels. Worth a look. -- Paul Rogers . Lagoon 450F #233 2013 East Coast of Oz
