Hi there was a bit unsure where to post this so here goes here

I have a question about my Westie any help would be good,
Behind the drivers seat is a small fuse box with two fuses. they both have a permanant 12 volt feed even when I turn off the isolator and the whole of the rest of it is powerless. question is what are these two lines feeding power to ?

Thanks

Andrew

Is it the little black box?

If possible hook it up to 240v first.

One does fridge, I believe. :? Take out the fuse. Little light on fridge stops.
Other might be for water supply to tap or battery condition.

Best wait for a Westie owner to give you the answers.

Fridge and Eberspacher heater.
If you are storing the vehicle (not using) then it is advisable to remove the Eberspacher fuse or else the LED panel will completely flatten the auxilary (leisure) battery.
An isolator switch is useful and easier long term.

Think im right in saying that the radio supply (ignition controlled) in the dash comes from the vehicle battery .... so if you've used that and taken the permanent feed from the auxilary battery then you may have some issues with one battery discharging into the other via the radio ....
