Bongo Fury

hi does anyone know how to make my bongo so as I can use the water pump and blinds with out the ignition on ??


someone has said you have to do something behind the fuse board

You would need to see what fuse is feeding which circuit ..

Remove the fuse(s) .. then take a separate fused wire from the positive side of the leisure battery and 'plug it into the vacant fuses 'feed' ..

Or you can buy a purpose made harness to do the job ..

ok cheers is this just a test tool or a perment fix ??

The picture is for a kit tailor made for the automatic Bongo .. and is a "professional" fix ..

I have got two batterys on my van but how do I tell if I have a split charger

Nobody else has questioned it so I will. What water pump do you have connected up to the starter battery and why?

on his sink maybe .


to tell if you have a split charge or not.
has the bongo got a switch near the drivers knee with an engine symbol on it ?.
yes could mean that it is north jap model with 2 usually smaller starter only batts fitted. (but may have been converted).
no, could mean it may have.
check for how the 2 bats are connected. is there a straight, unbroken heavy link wire from the neg on the starter bat to the positive on the second bat. if yes its usually 2 starter bats in series.
if no then its usually a starter bat and leisure bat. (the leisure bat may actually be just a second standard looking battery, so sometimes not obvious).
look for a non standard looking relay with wires to the second bat, should also have a fuse box or in line fuses nearby to protect the system/circuits etc.

i use these, really good kit, then a seperate fuse box powering whatever you want powering off the leisure battery.

Yes I guessed that too but why would anyone put a conversion in without a leisure battery?

We're assuming they have a conversion . All we know is there are two batteries, a pump (& possibly a tap) and some blinds. A photo of what you've got would help us give guidance on your options.
