In regards to #1, go to FLAPS and look for a package
of piggyback spade connectors, ideal for grounds, all
brass, no insulation. Has female spade you slide onto
ground lug, with two male spade lugs for ground wires.

Re #4, they may be for the unused lights in there; the
front diff lock, and drive decoupler (left and middle
lights, resp.)

--- 1) What do I do about being out of free spades on
the two grounding
blocks?

2) I have a factory installed dual battery system that
appears to be
isolated by a relay under the drivers seat.  How do I
test that it is
functioning properly? ie. isolating the battery and
discharging only
the cigarette lighter socket located under the
passenger's seat that
the electric fridge plugs into?

I plan on adding a fuse block under the driver's seat
for the
secondary battery and running my auxiliary equipment
to it (Stereo,
Fridge, Lighting, etc...) but I'd like to know it's
actually isolated
correctly first.

3) When I hooked up my power windows (freeing a ground
point by
temporarily disconnecting my power windows).  They
would lock and
then immediately unlock themselves.  Any idea what
could be causing
this behavior?

4) When running the wiring harness for the windows,
mirrors, and door
locks I notice two short brown ground wires coming
from the diff lock
switch which were not connected to anything. I can't
figure out what
if they were supposed to connect to that they can
reach. Any idea
where these grounds are supposed to go to?

Thanks for any help!

Jon
