Thanks for the heads up Dennis.

The "can" I bought is labelled as a battery isolator. Diagram I linked
to was the clearest one I could find after a quick google image search
but I do see my grammatical error. Sorry!

If possible, I'll double check the new "can" part specs online.

For a Westy the blue wire for the fridge relay will work although you may need to rev the engine a bit higher than normal to get the alternator kicked in due to the different coil loading the activation-warning light circuit.
