Split Charging Relay position

Post by GrahamL »

Hi,
Where is the split charging relay to be found on a 1.6 Turbo Diesel camper?

Try tracing the wire back from the leisure battery?

I was going to add that many of our vans are converted panel vans and so the relay could be anywhere, but I just noticed that Graham's van is an Atlantic Hightop,1.6td (says so in his sig), so it likely has the original Westy fitted relay, and they are usually fitted in................. I don't own a Westy :roll:

As said Westy Atlantic.....relay is beside the battery under the drivers seat, hand brake side.

If it needs changing its your opportunity to upgrade.....you will need to snip off and change a few of the spades.
