If you have an 85-87 Wolfy Westy, or any Vanagon with a factory aux
battery relay, as well as some Westy fridge relay setups, there is a
conflict with the hard start relay. Jay's relay kit explains the fix and
includes an extra wire with the correct ends on it that corrects this
conflict. At least the kit I got from him did. It is an easy fix.
