...my new 1000w renogy inverter under my single passenger seat. I'm going to have my own cable made up, my question is, I'm concerned about cableroute between the 2 seats, how have you guys done this? Have you gone straight under cab matting(I'm concerned about heat with this option), or, have...
Do I need to avoid running speaker cable near power cables?
I seem to remember getting alternator whine back in the day when I fitted amps, etc. To cars.
But I can't remember what caused it.
Hiya, this is something I want to do and am researching now, please can you provide details of the cableroute you used from grille badge to headunit? Thanks
I dropped mine down to the panel to the left of the steering column. you can then easily grab them though the steering column adjustment hole, then poke em back when your done.
Good news, removed the cluster. Slackened some screws a bit and the corner discolouration is gone. Switched on ignition and then pressed the panel into place and saw it come back a bit. So I at least now know something behind the cluster is mostly causing it. Will cut more plastic away.
Just...
If you have barn doors then a popular route to the roof is the tailgate hinge cutout on the body, which will be filled with a gasket.
It's probably a long route for your use case and you'd probably need to run cable forward along roof rails or similar.
On the plus side you might find that...
Yeah all good, and just go with the Victron recommended sizing for fuses, so 60a on the engine side and 30a on the power bank side.
The only real downsides to going bigger with wiring is cost and trying to route a bigger cable through spaces.
It wouldn’t take much. Up the size of the positive cable from under the seat to the back of the van to 16mm2 and have a point accessible in the rear for a negative cable. The larger cable will help reduce any voltage drop and increase capacity so the solar controller could be put in the rear of...
Hi, I’m trying to understand if this portable solar panel is as simple as connecting it together as shown by the diagram, which then can run my 12v fridge and lights off grid?
So basically, I connect the converter to the panel. Then the converter directly to the leisure battery via the...
...Renogy battery monitor / shunt. Battery lifted slightly at the rear to make more room for cables beneath and relive pressure. 50mm pos cablerouted through 225amp mega fuse, then 300amp isolator, before travelling down right of battery, and under the tunnel to the drivers seat base, along...
I have a suspicion some issue may link back to my rear wardrobe.
In that thread posted pictures of initial piggy backs etc and then introduced a bus bar.
The red cable from
MPPT ended up being routed through cupboards to battery under driver seat.
This obviously isn’t the same length (much...
Not a single build thread, but posts in various leisure electrics threads and the ‘what have you done to your van today’ thread. Mine was an upgrade to lifepo4 plus solar which also meant replacing the existing, but unsuitable, CBE kit and taking the opportunity to relocate things from the rear...

Was it still taking a cable into the bottom black and purple plug in the e box to activate ccs ?
I don’t think @Tanstalf got his ccs working and now think it’s something to do with the earlier clocks or something to do with it being a EURO5
Well it is ford's own specs for the starter ground not mine and I guess they knew right.
There is no earth to the fuse box? Therer is a jump and the negative goes into the negative busbar.
Ok so I did a bit of fiddling with the wires before the light went down and it isn't even the ground from...
I can't help much with this as i de-wipered my tailgate. You may be able to find the route using parts catalogs, if you go on lllparts.co.uk you can search the vw parts books and see if that helps.
Bit easier on the 6.1 wiring wise, as you have seen. You will probably need to change some coding...
I have had an Alternator Charger and Delta 2 installed in my T6.1 California since September, and it's truly been an awesome experience. I hooked it up to the factory leisure battery under the passenger seat, and occasionally do reverse charging, and everything works wonderfully.
However, I've...
