Willinton Instructions PDF

Hi,

I fitted a Willinton kit last year and am having a wiring/fuse palaver.

Does anyone have a copy of the instructions for me to double check. I cunningly have lost mine.

Many thanks,

Paul

Split charging kit fitting instructions.
Before undertaking any work on fitting the split charging kit please note that on models with factory
fitted twin batteries it will be necessary to make one modification to the original wiring. As the
main positive battery lead to the secondary, passengers side, battery is no longer used once the kit
has been fitted it must be either removed or well insulated and secured in such a way as to insure it
is safe and cannot come into contact will any metal component of the vehicle, please contact me if
you need any help with this.
On twin battery models you must also remember to disconnect the negative battery lead from
both batteries before starting any electrical work.
Fitting the Split Charging kit
Remove the negative (earth) battery terminal from the main (starting) battery (make sure it’s tucked
down the side of the battery out of the way). The clutch blanking plate should next be removed and
this must be done from inside the vehicle. The blank is fitted to the left of the brake peddle and has
a sound pad over it, this pad has a cut out which can easily be removed, the blank is normally made
of white plastic and is held in place by four locking tabs, by pushing the tabs back in with a small
screwdriver the blank can be pushed outward into the engine bay.
It may be possible to remove the foam seal from the rear of the blank, which can the be fitted to the
mounting bracket of the kit.
Start with fitting the kits leisure battery earth lead, this should be fitted to the inner wing on the
passenger’s side as shown below (some models have four relays) It is important that a good
connection between earth lead and bodywork is made at this point as a poor earth will prevent the
leisure battery from charging and working correctly.
The leisure battery can now be fitted into its tray but DO NOT FIT THE EARTH LEAD TO
THE LEISURE BATTERY AT THIS STAGE! But leave it tucked out of the way.
The main part of the kit can now be fitted, start by passing the bundle of cables through the hole in
the bulkhead from where the blanking plate was removed and fit the new plate with the nuts and
washers provided. (It is recommended that a small area of paint is removed from inside the vehicle,
around the holes in the bodywork, before fitting the two nuts and washers as this will insure a good
earth for the kit)
Working from inside of the vehicle (removing the Grey trim panel from below the steering column
may help) pass the cables along to the fuse box area. From the fuse box we need to remove fuse
number 1 (Red 10 amp) and fit the White wire to the lower half of the fuse holder then fuse number
8 (Blue 15 amp) and fit the Blue wire to the lower half of the fuse holder.
If you wish to use the kit to power the electric blinds the Pink (or Pink/Grey) wire and the Yellow
wire should be fitted to fuse holders 6 and 7 (either wire to the lower half of either fuse holder) If
you do not intend to use the Pink (Pink/Grey) or the Yellow wire to power the blinds or other
equipment then please remove the two lower fuses (Blue 15 amp) from the kits fuse box until
needed
.
Working from in front of the vehicle the two main battery cables from the kit can now be fitted. The
shorter cable is fitted to the positive terminal of the main battery as shown; your Bongo may have a
plastic cover over the required mounting bolt which should be removed, it is also possible to leave
the cover in place and remove a small section as shown.
The longer cable, with leisure battery positive terminal, can now be fitted
Use one of the cable ties in the kit to secure the cable, care must be taken to insure the cable is clear
of the heater control as this moves.(early models only) The end of the cable has a positive battery
terminal which should be fitted and rotated to give the best position for the fuse holder with your
mThe earth lead for the Leisure battery should now be fitted. The leisure battery feeds are now live;
you may confirm this by testing the interior lights and power sockets.
The main (starting) battery earth lead and all other parts can now be re fitted. To test the system
start the engine, after a delay of around five seconds, the relay will be heard to click into operation
and the green LED will come on. A test with a volt meter (if available) should now show between
13.2-14.4 volts at the leisure battery terminals with the engine running.ake of battery.
