does anyone know what this is ?

[jeffdub]

starting to strip my old interior out when i came across this





it has 2 red wires from the terminal on the starter battery with an imline fuse in, i took the fuse out and checked the 12v flourescent light and the tap switch that runs off the leisure battery and everything works i dont see what it could be used for any ideas ?

Its a relay certainly. Split charge? Google the name on it - you'll soon find out then

Fridge when its on 12 volt?

Could be the relay that lets the fridge run on 12 volt when the engine is running and cuts off the supply when the engine stops.

Only guessing

[jeffdub]

the fridge that was in it only ran on gas and the split charge relay is bolted to the battery tray , its a mystery relay !

[CovKid]

Lot of wires if it is - unless its two relays in once case - could be.

Looks like it is two relays. Look close at the second pic and you can see diagrams for two seperate switches on the top of it.

The plot thickens

Then its an accumulator split charge zed - for running two leisure batteries. May be a smart one, possibly not.

i dont know what to do with it ! it doesnt have anything to do with anything thats in the van ?

[CovKid]

I do - am after one for a project I'm working on. http://www.ripca.com/catpdf/ripca-19.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Its in there: If you want to swap for something, give me a shout. Its likely its doing nowt now.

Its a 'Normally open relay with twin output' 30amps

covkid its the bottom left one on that link the double relay one

Yep just edited my post above. Two relays in tandem. My guess is its redundant now. Not as high rated unit and not a smart one.

Wait a minute though - could they be powering the headlights? Try disconnecting a couple of terminals and see!
