James Cook Forum

I have fitted an an electric step and now need to wire it up. Epeg in another post suggested terminal 30 for the permanent positive and terminal 15 for the positive switched on by the ignition- in the under seat box. However, under the seat I can only see fuses 1-18. So the terminal for fuse 15 (EDW Blinkleuchte) can be used for the switched positive? But where is terminal/fuse 30 so that I can get a permanently positive? Or is there some other terminal I can use for a permanent positive? I am doing the job today so a speedy response would be most helpful. Thank you
Adrian

Klemme 30 = Dauerplus kannst du vom Trennrelais abnehmen. Eine Seite kommt von der Lichtmaschine-Generator- Starterbatterie, die andere Seite geht zu den Boardbatterien.

Die richtige Seite kannst du durch Spannungmessen herausfinden. Ich weiß nicht genau ob es vieleicht auch auf dem Relais steht.

Thank you Epeg. But the problem is that I can’t kivate terminal 30. There are only numbered terminals 1- 18. Where is it? Adrian.

Am Trennrelais unter dem Fahrersitz. Es ist nicht Nummeriert !!!

Vieleicht hat jemand ein Bild von der Postion.

Die Klemmbezeichnungen nach Din-Norm zum Beispiel Klemme 30 haben nichts mit den Nummerierungen an den Sicherungen zu tun.

Ok Epeg. But I am now stuck as I do not know which wires and terminals under the seat correspond with the din terminal sequence. I suppose if all else fails I will have to take it to a garage - but that would be a shame having got this far. Adrian

So schnell gibt man aber nicht auf

Der Pfeil kennzeichnet das Trennrelais Dauerstrom der Fahrzeugbatterie. Aber Messe bitte vorher nach

Thanks Epeg and Roland. So now I can wire the continuous positive to the terminal marked with the arrow. But where will I find a positive feiswitxhes in by the ignition? I do not normlly five up but we are off to Holland on Saturday. I have until 1939 tomorrow to finish this off! Adrian

Epeg, realise my last post was unintelligible. Thanks to the photo I can now wire the permanent positive. But not sure where to find the switched 15 amp feed. Where do I find terminal 15?
We are taking the Cook to Holland on Saturday so as a precauthave booked James into an electrical specialist tomorrow at 1100. So I have until 1030am to sort out where terminal 15 is! Thanks to you and Roland for the help so far. Adrian

Hallo Adrian.
Ich bekomme den Cook erst am Sonntag wieder. So kann ich jetzt nicht nachsehen wo ich es angeschlossen habe
Messe einfach mal den Strom an den Sicherungen unter dem Fahrersitz. Bei Zündung an und Zündung aus.

Thanks Epeg. I will see what I can sort out in the morning. I have done some more research and now understand that there is no terminal 15 as such but that terminal 15 is a generic description of all feeds switched by the ignition. So the question is where to find the right switched feed. There is a 25 amp fuse for each of the power windows. I could piggyback off one of those but am concerned that if I operated the window at the same time as the step was retracting then there might be 40 amps potentially being drawn which might overload the wiring. Adrian

Epeg, today I went to friendly auto electrician who is a camper. After I removed the seat for him he quickly found a switched circuit he could use for the step cable. 15 mins and equivalent of Eur10 and all was done. Step works well. Thanks for all the help. Adrian.

Sehr gut !! Viel Spass in den Niederlanden
