This forum (Ross and Inertiaman in particular) rocks!
Going back a few posts...
Ross - vin # for my van is WD8PE745575147561. Hopefully it won't be hard to get that brown wire connected somewhere.
Inertiaman - Glad my cheaper choice of 4awg wasn't too bad. I did examine the pre-fuse this weekend and wondered about the narrowness too. I've been ordering my cables custom made off the interwebs (place called Genuinedealz) and went with the 4awg cable, tinned, with heat shrink and a 1/4" terminal and wondered if I might have to file a wee bit as well. For the fuse itself I just ordered using the MB part number in the diagram, I think it is the 150 and not the 80, but if it ever gets here, I'll know for sure.
- I think I'll go with the 150a terminal fuse on the new battery (just to be safe) and have it protect both the ACR and the on/off switch (with no cables connected directly to the battery terminal itself).
Working on the small instrument panel this week in the cabinet above the battery, where I'll put the Victron, the ACR button and a 4 toggle switch for the lights. it doesn't seem to difficult, but then I've thought that before.
Thanks again both!
Tim
