Could be a bad connection or an open secondary (unusual). If it buzzes, the
primary is energized.

Are you talking about the actual transformer, or a power supply? People
often call a power supply (AC in DC out) a transformer, but techs are
talking the actual AC to AC part inside that drops the voltage down to
12 or so.

Just getting the full info....

I think the O.P. might be talking about an invertor (dc in ac out).

I would think he's talking about the charger for the battery but you
could be right of course.

It could be any of the following:-

1, The 240 volt primary winding could be U/S
2, The 12 output winding is burnt out
3, The 12 volt fuse has blown

Try to get the manual for the van, it should contain a circuit diagram, if you can get a manual it is pretty easy to follow.

Regards
