Subject:      Aux Battery relay question
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Hi Folks,


I own a 1986 wolf Westy (no appliances), that has a second (aux) battery
under the drivers side seat.

When I looked closely at the relay (1 inch square silver box), I saw there
are 5 "male" prongs. 4 parameter and one center.

The 4 parameter all have wires attached:

1. blue wire
2. red/white wire
3. red/black wire
4. red wire

The center pole dies not have a wire attached to it.

However, there is a red wire, with a white plastic connector, loose right
next to it. I'd love to know, if that red wire should be connected to the
center pole, and what it controls or affects.

Coincidently, my 12v aux outlet below the passenger side seat does not work,
and I wondered if this wire could be for it.

I don't own a Bentley manual, and thought I would ask if anyone knows that
the center pole on the relay is for, and if I should try hooking up the lose
red wire or not. It certainly looks like it it fits, and is perhaps supposed
too too.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
dave :)
