This is how it is hooked up.

thick red wire from relay #30 to positive post of aux battry

2 red wires from positive post of aux battery to fridge fuse box

blue wire (in plastic sheath with red wire...comes from front of van)to teminal 85 on relay . red wire (another in said plastic sheath) to terminal 87 of relay

brown to grond relay to inside of battery box.

The primary battery did show an increase in volts upon starting the car, thus the alternator is charging.

Any help would be appreciated....I am going on a trip Sat, and would like to be at full speed!
