It sound's like there is a fuse blown somewhere.

I presume the toilet is pump flushed and the pump is not working when you press the button . so sounds electrical check all your fuse links . or broken wire, bad earth.

It’s a thetford cassette toilet. I pulled out toilet cassette today and there is a fuse in it alright but it did not seem blown. Might try new fuse. Would this be linked to radio and light in cab not working ?

you have 3 problems. its unlikely they are all connected , that saying the thing that is common on them all is power and earth.
Sort the toilet first, can you check if you have power each side of the fuss, Yes. has the button come adrift .? No. check the earth .

The radio could be powered from the same supply as the light.
The light operates when the button at the door comes out and makes the earth. but the selector on the light has to be in the correct position . on when the door is opened , or off or no continuously
pull the cable off the back of the foor nutton and put ig against the metal, make the earth. not working no power, fuse?.

radio is the difficulty one, pull it out and check its getting power. not easy on some of the multi socket type, to know where to start. but see if you have a dedicated fuse for it and start there. Always check a fuse by replacing it with one you know works.

I guess your not going anywhere at the weekend, pulling your hair out dosn't help.😁

Now there's a coincidence. We've also got a Compass Drifter 360e (though on a Ducato base), and the toilet also stopped flushing over last weekend!
I haven't had a chance to investigate really, fuse looks good, I suspect either the switch that detects the cassette is in place, or the switch where you press down for the flush.
The race is on to see who resolves it first I suppose :P

I will let you know how I get on hopefully it’s something simple. I got few fuses today so fingers crossed it’s that

Same happened our Motorhome last year, the toilet stopped working, fuse was fine, the problem was there was a bad connection at the fuse.

Got Bertha back today (after some TLC with angle grinder and welder at the mechanics 😬) got the chance to look at the flush system. Two breaks in the wire, one at the cassette detect switch, and the pump impeller gummed up with goo for good measure.
Seems to be back in action, need to put the pump back in and give it a good test tomorrow.
