Holdsworth Variety Zig Question...

Post by GBHgpJON »

Basically theres a big hole next to the water gauge...I guess this is where the Zig unit should be :?
But no wiring behind :( To connect it.....Bummer!!

Any idea which zig unit was fitted originally???
Obviously thats the easy bit.......
More questions to follow...... :?

Would this be the split charge relay.........

Havn't found the extra fuseboard yet....there is some extra fuses tagged onto the relay board above the main fuseboard, with a grey relay connected to them[see pic below]
Would this be anything to do with it?
Or are they factory???

ok that hole def isnt a zig unit ! a zig unit is about 10" by 9" that looks like a regular mains house 240v single socket.

That relay looks very much liek a electrolux fridge relay that allows you to run the fridge on 12v whle traveling .

Behind the dash is a relay by looks of it id say for an alarm maybe?

this is a zig unit mate

Cheers mate....

That explains why theres no 12v wiring behind it then... :D

Got a switch on the dash for the fridge, only live when ignitions on...I guess it would still need a relay

Thick wire from LB goes to the centre of the relay under the dash, which is then feeding the 'extra' fuses.....
Looks like it never had a Zig unit, and the split charger seems to work....
Best leave it all alone!!!! :wink:
Cheers all!!
