Subject:Re: Aux Battery in GL-Sure Power Instructions Needed

Here is a shot of the plain Stancor relay mounted in the driver side
box. The relay is bolted down on the hidden side and the other mount
hole tab has been cut off. The orientation works well with the needed
cabling but I don't have any shots of the wiring attached.

The DS box has dimples in the floor to mark where VW drills holes for
the aux battery option wiring from the other side box. The relay also
needs 1 wire run under the carpet to the main fuse/relay panel unless
you have a Westy fridge relay under the seat like shown in the photo.
You can use the output of the Westy relay to trigger the bat relay.
Otherwise you need a wire from the fuse/relay panel "X" signal to do it.
