Yep, I've been doing that today in fact. I'm wiring up some extra lighting inside the van, all running off the LB, this is one of them. I've decided to stick with the 'plentiful' light from this one, and I'll add a smaller, less powerful light lower down for when I just need to get stuff out...

Ok, dimmer definitely needed. They're just a bit too bright at full whack, and dimming them will help with light leak too if I'm stealth camping. Before, with no light above the kitchen, or the single flexible spot light: At minimum: Full whack Mind you, even at full brightness they're...

More test fitting of extra interior lights running off the LB. I can't find the post in an old thread of who had LED strips mounted here, but it's a fantastic idea. Just need to wait until it's dark to decide if I want them on a dimmer switch or not. With this and the new rear boot light...

@Sim60 - Hi Simon, you must have had to split the aerial and non quad lock cables from the larger factory loom and route them back in to the head unit slot? - or what way did you approach this? - How much of a squeeze is it to get the quad lock block through the slot on the rear right of the...

I think I need assurance / a sanity check from the electrical experts. Along with a lot on here I’ve got a CTek MX5 charger fitted with a 12V (cig lighter) plug on a connector that can be swapped for the usual large crocodile clips for attaching to the starter battery terminals. I tend to just...

That's the best way to do it, just check which way around the potential LiFePO4 battery has it's terminals, you might find they're the opposite to your AGM which makes putting wiring in with the plan to upgrade, tricky! Also, ring terminals for the battery terminals, as you don't want to be re...

As far as I know these are not branded and there a number of online shops selling them. I have PMed everyone who wanted to get links to the stores. Let me know if you need links :) thanks, roadtripper! Sounds plausible and makes a lot of sense! I definitely don't like the idea of unnecessary...

I think the normal H4 behaviour is to turn the low beam off when the high beam is on to save power. You probably don't want that with LED as it they tend to have very precise beam shapes and rely on the low beam staying on. Normally you would change the behaviour in the coding. The adapters...

The wire from SA3 can be either 10mm or 16mm depending on the features of the vehicle. 16mm is used on vehicles with twin secondary batteries (i.e. some Californias) most others are 10mm. The fuse in SA3 can be either 50A or 100A again dependant on features of the vehicle.

10mm / 100A is correct and the photos are from T6. Wire ampages are for continuous current over long periods but fusing is for short peaks intended to protect against shorts. 100A fuse does not mean the associated circuit is designed to take 100A load for very long.

Sorry to resurrect this post! Wire #3, looks to be around 10mm in size and routes to under the passenger seat, fused at 100A. Could this be larger than 10mm? It seems the rating of a thin walled 10mm cable is 70A, and 16mm around 110A. We’re these photos taken from a T6 or a T6.1 or would they...

Ok thanks for info Yes, would probably get cables made up, as don’t need them longer than they need to be. It was just that the guy installing all the electrics recommended having inverter under passenger seat with battery, then having all the chargers across to drivers seat base? , then I...

I've had an issue today and this thread seems very close to what I’ve experienced. I have a T6 ‘19 startline. I've just fitted a 750 x with the cloud connection unit. Ran wire to the fuse box and fitted 2 piggy back fuse connectors to 2 empty slots 1 switched and 1 permenant live. Hadn’t noticed...

It would work, but not be ideal (IMHO) It's a single fused outlet, so only gives you one protected 13A circuit. Most EHU are 16A, which in it's self isn't a problem, apart that in the odd occasion when you want to take advantage of that loverrly 16A of leccy goodness, fan heater, leccy kettle...

Wondering if this is adequate for the purpose. To be fitted inline at the bonnet end of the EHU cable I'll be routing from under the bonnet to supply my Victron smart charger and onwards to a double wall socket...

I’m in exactly the same place Aidan. I’m thinking to either route the cables through the rear ‘open’ end of the pop top ie not into the interior via a deck gland, securing the cables via my pop top fabric bungee and then through the tailgate hinge bungs using short glands, or directly through...

Here you go, this is the one I've currently got in my eBay basket, but if you Google 'fused busbar' you should see more https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403913942230 On this one, your main feed comes into the top right, to which the Megafuse connects and also branches into the 4x midi fuses. Here's...

If you bring the cable out over the front of the engine bay around where the washer bottle/end of headlight is there is usually enough clearance to tuck a cable in that area with the compression of the bonnet seal. Ideally wrap the area of the cable in a bit of cloth or tape to give some just...

@Lucas phil84 I'd suggest first of all completely disconnecting the fridge and leaving it that way for a while to let any charge fade away to ensure the controller isn't in an odd state. Then check the general health of the leisure battery and the soundness of the fridge wiring. Compressor...

I went a different route and kept a look out for alternative VAG vehicle fuseboxes on eBay. Annoyingly many are sold cropped very short but keep looking and you'll find ones that have a reasonable tail. I got a Passat and a Golf one and a couple of evenings depending got me a collection of...
