PaulMc Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 R14 - ACE relay. Terminals 30 and 85 are permanent live, fed via F15 (15A). What do you intend to run from it? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case, I wouldn't use the ACE relay socket - as, the two permanently live terminals are 6.3mm and 4.8mm receptacles, which are a bit undersized for 4 x 55w lamps. Also, poking male terminals into the socket receptacles, is a bit untidy and insecure. A better solution would be to tap off one the fuse box's M8 battery terminals, using suitably sized cable and fuse - . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the battery is only less than a foot away from here it’s what I would go for too but unfortunately the d2 terminals are next to usless (who invented these stupid terminals anyway?) at present won’t even tighten up properly hence why I thought of this as they are permanent live, ok thanks will try to get new battery terminals this week get him sorted.👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMc Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 No, not the battery terminals - the fuse box terminals that supply battery power to the fuse box, and from the fuse box to the starter motor. I re-posted your fuse box picture (above) with green arrows pointing to these M8 terminals. The terminals on the D2 battery are sh!te - I replaced mine with these - .

That’s what he’s going to have to do can’t believe they are so poorly made tho I’ve sorted the main spot light wire now so all good there.👍😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
