It's very cold and our heater isn't working. Any webasto hel

[Piewiet]

Does anyone know how to troubleshoot a Webasto LO 2305? It is 14° and I will take any help that is offered. I only have 2 hands. The old lady's in bed pregnant and we need to fix our heater asap. We are full-time live aboards.

Please call a dealer immediately. I found 8 within an hours drive of your boatyard.

Then maybe comeback and search this site for assistance.

Good luck.

Check input voltage at the heater unit itself. Corrosion on connectors is the bane of these things. Go get a cheap digital multimeter if you don't already have one. It will pay for itself just checking flashlight batteries if nothing else. Check the fuel filter if you have one on the heater.

Here's a link to a cheap $6 meter that will work just fine for occasional use:

Harbor Freight stores always stocks these.

I should have said

Be sure to check DC voltage between the positive and negative connections at the heater while it's trying to start. It may be necessary to select it off then back on to get this condition.
