Hope someone out there can help,

I tow a caravan and i have just fitted a second relay and grey towing
socket to my 2004 Nissan Navara double cab, everthing seems to be ok
with regards to the caravan fridge and battery etc.

However the 12v + supply i have used on the alternator (yellow with
black line) to switch the relay is causing the battery warning light to
remain on even after the engine is running. There is no loss of power
or draining of the battery and as mentioned before eveything seems ok,
just this annoying battery warning light on the dash board.

So the question is have i done something wrong and how can i resolve it
?

Please help chillibeef

You may like to put this enquiry on to the uk.rec.caravanning NG or ask
Tony at http://www.towitall.co.uk/company/contact.htm If he doesn’t
have the answer then there probably isn’t one.

I have a Nissan Terrano and it has a special heavy duty supply lead at
the rear just ready for connection to battery charge, fridge and "always
on" supply.. The ignition switch power was also picked up from the back
of the car but I am unsure as to what connection was made. I got a
specialised firm to do it and I watched and made a few notes. The
engineer told me that Nissan cars need no wiring whatsoever to the front
of the car, even for sensing connection on relays.
