Re: Battery charging

PC power supplies have MULTIPLE outputs, ranging from +12,+5v,+3.3,0,-5v & -12v, more modern ones probably won't have the -ve supplies. Each output voltage will also appear on several sockets via multiple wires in some cases as you can be talking of LOTS of amps (10-20Amps) for the lower voltages!

Re: locking noise

If you have a L/B then its often the case that the supply is switched over to it for the other doors, if the L/B is low / flat then the other doors won't lock/unlock.

Re: Your thoughts on an easy install Solar panel kit?

They lift a bit then release, enough to get a meter lead in but never enough to get croc clips in, at least on the version I have. I think it might be intentional ?

Re: Recharging leisure battery - how long?

You probably have a mains charger built into the conversion and yes, when plugged into the EHU you will be charging (assuming the charger has been turned on!). Getting a Lead Acid battery fully charged does take a some hours (typically 48 hours from totally flat ≈ 11.0 volts), some of the small char...

Re: Recharging leisure battery - how long?

If any Lead Acid battery has been completely discharged then it is best if it is fully charged from a mains charger, you will be able to put a reasonable amount of charge back in within a few hours, but unless you allow the battery to be fully charged then the life of the battery will suffer. I woul...

What do you mean exactly ?
The normal setup has a Split Charge relay to allow charging from the vehicle alternator when driving, and a charger connected to the EHU to allow charging from the mains when on a Hook-up.

Re: Wiring issue sparky help plz

If you have moved over all the fuses then you could still take a feed from the TOP contact of the top row right fuse and run-it thru an in-line fuse to the devices. The Willinton wiring loom will be fitted to the LOWER contact but the TOP contact is still supplied from the ACC position of the Igniti...

Re: glowplug light flashing

Its unlikely to be the battery that's causing the problem in this situation. If the light is flashing then you need to trigger the code readout otherwise its just a warning light try his page for starters http://www.philmcfadden.co.uk/MazdaDiagnosticBox.htm, there is also a couple of Factsheets in t...

Yes your putting the switch ACROSS the power and earth leads! Connect the Earth (left pin on photo) to the -ve/earth wire normally Black. You will also need to connect the outer -ve/earth together on both sockets. Connect the +12V connection (right pin on photo) of the switch, to the inner on the si...
