Hey everyone - new Bongo owner and just signed up member of the club here with a quick question already (had a quick look around but couldn't find anything)!

Going through my van and making some tweaks to it's current set up, I'm looking at hooking my leisure battery up to run the interior lights via fuse 1 - I've got the digital climate control - will this mean that the panel is always live/on when hooked up to the LB? Mines a '97 Diesel for reference.

Thanks for reading and for any advice!

You need to add a "Swap Loom" this transfers 4 circuits across to the leisure battery;
Fuse 1 - the permanently powered items, including door locks, radio backup and internal lights etc
Fuse 8 - The Ancillary devices, if you have an unswitched radio then you need to include a switch for this feed,
Fuses 6 & 7 - Powered blinds if you have them.
Looms are available ready made for installation https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/bespokeautoe ... ervices_uk

The Climate Control is not a Ancillary or permanent powered item so won't be powered up.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'd seen that it appears on some fuse diagrams so wanted to double check.

My cigarette lighter sockets have already been wired in separately when the conversion was done so I'll make a loom, up as I was going to be doing the blinds anyway. Thanks again!
