Hello All. We have recently bought a new caravan that is fitted with an Alko ATC system. We were on the dealers change over pitches today (Sunday) and were hitched up and ready to go, but when I connected the electrics, it was obvious that the ATC wasn't working (no led's or noise). We had been on the pitch for two days, and the Dealer sited the van for us to collect. Fortunately one of the dealers change over people were with another customer so I collared him. He was very helpful and pluged the caravan electrics into a portable test rig that proved the ATC, was working but not getting power from the car. So when I got home I did some googling and realised that pin 9 may not be connectec. So easy I thought test it with a multi meter, but then I read that if my car has a Cat Buz ? Using an ordinary meter may ruin the ECU, and a special meter has to be used, the car is two years old. I intend to have power supplied to pin 9 done professionaly, but would have liked to have satisfied myself that that is the problem first. I assumed when the tow bar and wiring were fitted, all relevant pins would have been connected, but after looking on the Honda website direct 12v supply is an option.
