-----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Sent: Monday, June 21, 2010 11:00 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Westy reefer relay wiring -- the Red wire? In the battery box under the driver's seat lives a relay -- shown on 97.32b, labeled "REFRIGERATOR 12-VOLT HEATER RELAY". There's a bundle of three wires in a single jacket attached to the relay, shown on the diagram: TO BATTERY + : Red, 2.5mm TO ALTERNATOR TERMINAL D+ : Blue, 0.5mm TO IGNITION STARTER SWITCH TERMINAL 50 : Red/Black, 0.5mm On my Westy, this bundle goes forward under the driver's seat swivel base then downward through a grommet, near as I can tell by reaching under that base. My question: where does the "TO BATTERY" wire go? THE FUSE BOX! There are two wires on the engine battery + terminal: the chubby starter cable, and a red wire which feeds the fuse panel, etc., in the dash. The "TO BATTERY" wire connects someplace, but where? -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Westrailia: (Ladybug Trailer company, San Juan Capistrano, Calif.)
