hi volks- I mostly lurk and appreciate all the great advise I've received here. While making the connections for the second battery in my '88 Westfalia and reading in Bentley, I conclude I am either reading the wiring diagram incorrectly, or someone else is. From my reading of the diagram, terminal 87 is switched and 30 is direct to the + post on the main battery. This is definitely not what I have seen here and in the Ron's faq. While I don't have my Bentley at work, could someone look at this and tell me who is right?
