Ignition Live Supply

[m3geo]

I'm away from home just now and looking to do some forward planning for smart charger and battery etc. My Caravelle has the spare live below the passengers seat which seems like a great start but would anyone know where I'll find an ignition live to connect to the smart charger? do I need to take this from main fuse box or is there anything under either of the seats?

Center column in the SC fuse box (lower middle dash panel) are ignition fed fuses.

The cable tunel runs allong the middle of the floor from the seat base.

Thats if you don't find a separate supply under the seat that is.

There will be the fuel lift pump live under the passenger seat at the very least.

I’m actually after the same thing I believe. More specifically I have just bought a REDARC BCDC 1225D for my T6 Transporter Runner. The blue cable in the Charger needs to be connected to the ignition in order to operate effectively and so I want to make sure I connect it to the right spot.
Can I tap into any fuse is the centre colum of the SC fuse box..?

 

[Dellmassive]

I had the factory fitted leisure battery setup.

We connected our Redarc blue wire to the factory relay feed That Was already under the seat. It's BCM controlled and switches when the engine is running.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Just to clarify, did you tether the blue wire to this factory relay feed or just plug it into an available slot?
Secondly, which seat is this factory relay feed under?
Thirdly, how did you identify that this feed was the correct feed to tap into?

Cheers

This is only available if you have the factory fitted split charge system.

Hi VanDingo

How did you get on with this? I'm literally trying to figure this out now! Thanks
