Subject:Auxiliary Battery
From:Mike Miller

What I am trying to do is find out how to wire up an auxiliary battery
that I installed under the drivers seat.

According to some information I downloaded [I thought from this site
but of course being terminally ignorant on site stuff, I'm not sure] the
well under the drivers seat was meant for
an auxiliary battery.  And it did have the relay in it as described.  And
unplugging the red wires from the relay and hooking them up to the aux
battery did run the frig and the water pump.

But I use [or would use if I
could get it work off the aux battery] the big lights in the back alot and
would like it to be run off this battery as well.  The instructions
indicated that this was what would happen and somehow it didn't.

So I must have done something incorrectly or the aux battery gods are
irritated with me, and I'd like to correct my error and get back in their
good graces.
