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.
