These little old vids are like gold. Had my van a while now and have identified the plastic thing on the windscreen being a teletrac device receiver. Got behind the panel thanks to your vid and there it all is. Loads of excess wires, speaker (as seen on this vid) and the control box. It’s coming out now! Cheers!
Mine has same thing with the speaker and it sounds every 30 mins saying Satellites are back in view I'm youtube is listening to me because I found this thing yesterday and today I've found this video
Hi both - are you able to give me some insight into wiring a CTEK system in using the wires here? I've watched the video and it's been the most helpful so far but I'm still a bit lost as to wiring the CTEK unit in. I've got a Citroen Relay 2011
Hi, thus means that the D+ coming from the Generator is the one you've showed in your van as black and white? That one goes to fusebox? That one I could use as the D+ for surveillance on to the suplementairy batteries, meaning that once the generator create current the suplementary batteries could be powered? thank you for your responding. Greetings.
Caution, this is an ignition switched supply, not D+ alternator signal as required by some leisure battery charging equipment. If this is used as a D+ signal the leisure battery is " connected " as the ignition is switched on, when the engine cranking begins it can draw current from the leisure battery either blowing fuses or damaging cables.
I just added the little delay timer device to sort this problem. the charging starts after a minute of ignition being on. But finding D+ might be easier. Whatever works
hi dan i have just finshed connecting up to ignition live and its operating spot on when i put ignition on . my question is when i connect to a sargent relay ,or to a b2b is it possible to draw to much current.
Why not just take the feed from the fuse panel you just ignored. .. using a piggy back fuse(add a circuit) I believe the whole top row is ignition feed.. rather then hacking the cable loom, leaving room for faults later on..
Hi Dan. Just seen your other video re Renault conversion so maybe you can help. .. I'm fitting a Sterling B2B onto a Euro 6 Vauxhall Vivaro. Could you use the cigarette lighter if it goes off when ignition turned off or did you use somewhere else on the Renault? I can access the D+ on the alternator but I'm a bit confused if this is the correct wire to use?
The Renault I have just completed was a Master and the ignition feed was located under the dashboard on the passenger side right in the far corner. Im not sure without testing it if a cigarette socket would work or not but if it is ignition fed then that should work. Hope this helps and many thanks for watching
@@dantheman321 Hi Dan. Thanks for the quick reply. Can you recall which colour the wire was? I've been trying to get a wiring diagram without success (Earlier models available but not later ones)
@@Frankthesurf I think it was a thick yellow but I couldnt be a 100% im afraid. They are different colours all the time, even when im doing the rear lights for the coachbuilt conversions they change them from time to time. Its a long process but you will have to test the wires to find it. Sorry I couldnt be of more help.
Job done today. A bit scary cutting through that black and white wire but the van still starts and I now have a wire in the back ready for my charger. Would have struggled without this video!
I should have said that in the Boxer/Relay/Ducato vans where it is live only when ignition is live I mention this because I do that in those vans it is easier to get at
Steve Brown Hi Steve, so is it ok to use the cigarette lighter power socket that is in the rear of my Citroen relay? It only powers up when the ignition is on. Many thanks.

Hi, thanks for that. Have you done a video on "wiring in an ignition sense wire for ducato"?
These little old vids are like gold. Had my van a while now and have identified the plastic thing on the windscreen being a teletrac device receiver.

So you removed the satnav tracking device?

I would never have been able to finish my electrical system with my ctek split charge without this vid, thanks so much mate 👍🏼👍🏼 ⭐️
No problem glad I've been of some help 👍

Brilliant...just what I needed...thanks
Very clear explanation, good on yer 😊
Thanks for the detailed information, great video!
Now I hope, this is the same wire in our Jumper 😅
Just give it a quick check before you permanently wire into it first.
Many thanks for watching
Thanks very much for the upload made the job a lot easier 👍🏾👍🏾
You're a lifesaver
We have a 2011 Boxer and it’s a thick yellow cable.

If this is used as a D+ signal the leisure battery is " connected " as the ignition is switched on, when the engine cranking begins it can draw current from the leisure battery either blowing fuses or damaging cables.
Indeed this could be confusing. Where to find the D+ cable on the inside or dashboard of this van?
I just added the little delay timer device to sort this problem. the charging starts after a minute of ignition being on. But finding D+ might be easier. Whatever works
@dantheman321 Great video. Thanks Can I get a feed/access from within the vehicle somewhere to pull 50Amps?
hi dan i have just finshed connecting up to ignition live and its operating spot on when i put ignition on . my question is when i connect to a sargent relay ,or to a b2b is it possible to draw to much current.
It acts as a signal wire for the battery to battery 👍
thanks dan your a star@@dantheman321

Do you know which wire is the starter solenoid feed?
Can you tell me what the fuse size are.. standard blade, mini blade or mini blade with extended pins??
Michael Meuer
I would use a 20amp standard blade fuse
Many thanks for watching
Would it be ok to cut ign cable and install a fused security switch into it?
You're a fuc*ing God!!

Is the the connection I need when my Battery to Battery charger says it wants the D+ from the alternator?
Yes it is, this is the ignition feed and i will be doing a video on a battery to battery charger soon as well.
Many thanks for watching
dantheman 321 Cheers - about to start on our Relay conversion and finding your videos very helpful
@@francisboundy5170
Thank you very much, happy to help 👍 let me know how you get on

@@francisboundy5170
Glad ive been of some help, i listed a battery to battery video yesterday hope that can help you too.
Many thanks for watching
You think it's the same on a Fiat Ducato 2014
I think it might be, the facelift model came before that if memory serves.
Hope this helps
@@dantheman321 This black and white wire is the D+ is have I understand it right?
Could I ask why you couldn’t just use the feed that goes to the cigarette lighter?
Because some cigarette lighters are permantly live so it wouldnt work.
I should have said that in the Boxer/Relay/Ducato vans where it is live only when ignition is live
I mention this because I do that in those vans it is easier to get at
@@stevebrown6665 could you make a video of that? In the process of converting a 2011 jumper/relay
Steve Brown Hi Steve, so is it ok to use the cigarette lighter power socket that is in the rear of my Citroen relay? It only powers up when the ignition is on. Many thanks.
it is not the D+
No it is an ignition feed to send a signal not to draw power from.
Hope this helps and many thanks for watching
