My auxiliary battery has been in use for 4.5 years, so I decided to get a new one put in prior to the trip. At the same time I needed a heavy duty cable wired to a 50amp Anderson plug at the rear of the car.
After the installation, I found the wire connected to the cranking battery, with no evidence of a circuit breaker or fuse anywhere. I stood there scratching my head, thinking this must be some new fandangle way of doing things.
I’ve always worked on a gut feeling. If it doesn’t feel right, then 90% of the time it turns out to be true. Got the mate around to have a look at it, and he said “Nar mate, they’ve stuffed it up”
The installation was rectified in the end.
The moral of this little tale, is to inspect and
test any work done on the car before you toddle off into remote areas.
