Since the 'Second Battery' thread seems to be getting a lot of
attention again, can anyone help on this one.  A PO of my '90 Westy
added the aux battery (I haven't traced down everything to see where the
relay is, etc) but failed to move the accessories over to the new
battery!! Everything is still connected to the primary battery.  Simple
check for this:  I disconnected the primary battery ground lead and
checked to see what was still working: Nothing!!.  Now my question is
this:  Is there a reference in the archives or on a web-site somewhere
that gives details of exactly what additional wiring should be added,
and what moved, to get all the accessories off the primary battery and
onto the aux?  I swear I found detailed info somewhere on the web in the
last year, but I'll be darned if I can find it now.
BTW, my previous Westy, and '85, had a solid state isolator and aux
battery with everything except the starter, ignition, and cigarette
lighter on the aux battery, and it worked great! Never a bit of trouble
in eight years.

not sure that you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
