westy second battery wiring question

[germansupplyscott]

derek,

thanks for the reply. i got my system working well. i am curious, though, in the stock setup, where the relay swiiching wire is connected. would you be able to trace the black wire from the relay?

i used the blue wire from the regulator (the one connected to the dash light) so the second battery is charging only when the alternator is working. this works. on my setup as it came to me, everything was in place, but the wiring was messed up. the black wire at the realy was connected to the main battery ground, which made no sense since the relay and second batttery already had ground. i made my own swiching wire and left the black one off. but i am curious as to where the switching wire was connected from the factory.
