simon_mcwilliam Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 As per the heading folks, I was wondering should the exixsting cables that go to the battery negative terminal be connected to the car chassis somewhere? so that there is only one cable, (a link), from the battery to the isolator. Cheers
Jon B Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) going by this wiring diagram http://www.cartek.biz/tech-info.html The Isolator unit should be mounted close to the vehicle's battery and directly onto the vehicle's metal chassis/body using un-painted bolts. As the power from the vehicle's battery is conducted to chassis/earth via the base plate of the Isolator then care and attention should be taken when mounting. If the Isolator can not be mounted directly to the main chassis then a suitable earth cable will need to be connected between the Isolator mounting plate and the vehicle’s chassis or engine. Also, do not fit the Isolator close to any heat source such as exhaust. hope this helps. Edited March 13, 2010 by Jon B
Jon B Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Oh and yeah mate the existing earth cables going to the battery should now be bolted directly to the car body....
