Subject:      81 Westy - Electrical/Fridge/2nd Battery question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi all,

This is my first post to the group and from what I
have been reading, I'm sure someone out there knows
the answer to my question.

Here is my question.  I am installing a second battery
for in a Westy (1981), for the fridge.  I'm wiring the
thing up now and am noticing two wire feeding under
the divers seat.  The first is a fused red one.  I
have that one figured out.  The second is a white
wire. It does not have an in-line fuse and connects to
a thinner blue wire by a insulated solder less
connector.  This second wire has no current running
through it regardless if the key is in the ignition
and
accessories running or not.

I need to know what is the function of this second
wire. Does it need a positive current at all times or
only when the accessory key is on? Or is it even a
positive wire?  Is it possible it is a ground wire for
something?  Basically what does it supply to?
Currently the westy was not wired to accept a second
battery.  Everything had to be added.

Thanks in advance for any help.  I can't put the
driver's seat back in until I figure this out!

Regards,
Mark
