How do I know what's running off the leisure battery?

Excessively long title for which I apologise!

Basically, I assumed that my inside lights, rear cigarette lighters etc were running off the LB. I know the radio is because I had the garage switch it.

My problem now is that the radio has completely stopped working, no display or anything. There appears to be power in the LB. I disconnected the SB & found that I had no interior lights, so it looks like everything (apart from radio) was powered from that.

How do I get everything switched to LB?

You need a little wiring loom to transfer the 4 circuits from the old fuse box down by the drivers knee to the new one like here http://www.solarcampersolutions.co.uk/i ... -bongoloom

Thanks for that Geoff. Is it a fairly easy task?

Just a thought, have you had a split charge relay added to charge the battery, I have seen one where the garage just fitted the battery but not a split charge relay to handle charging the battery from the alternator!

Only had it a couple of months. Bloke I bought it from said it was a leisure battery, & it has definitely got split charger.

Taking it to garage on Tuesday to find out why radio has stopped working. I'll get them to check.
