About the aux. battery, the relay =
under the driver's seat of your
'91 westy is not for a aux. =
battery.
That relay that you mentioned is for =
the refrigerator.
It turns the refrigerator on and off, =
while it's running
on the 12 volt setting, depending on =
if the alternator is charging or not.
I have been wondering for some time whether = my 87 Westy had some built in mechanism to turn off the fridge when it = was set to run on 12 volt and the motor wasn't running. The = reason I suspected this was that occasionally when I forgot to switch = the fridge off myself, and left the car parked, the battery didn't seem = to discharge at all. Is that what this snippet implies? = There is nothing I can find in my owner's manual about this, and it = would sure make life a lot simpler if I didn't have to worry all the = time about shutting off the fridge every time I park the = van.
Can anyone enlighten me on this = question?
