Gilles- I just did this, using instructions from Mark Drillock in the archives. Easy, cheap, and works great. The accessories (stereo, interior lights, cig lighter) run on fuse #3. Joe Here's the procedure: You don't need to remove the fuse box, just the cover so you can get to fuse #3. Fuse #3 always has 12 volts at the top leg and then the fuse connects it to the bottom leg. 1. REMOVE fuse #3. 2. Put a male .250 spade connector on the end of the wire coming from your aux batt. (use ~12 gauge wire and an inline fuse in that wire near the aux batt) 3. Plug that male spade into the lower leg hole of fuse position #3. (fuse #3 was removed, see 1. above) 4. You are DONE! I am assuming that this is a 86 or newer Vanagon. Earlier years need different though quite similar instructions. This will put all interior lights, radio, and cig socket on the aux battery, protected by the new inline fuse you placed in the wire. Fuse #3 is gone, never to return.
