Battery Distribution Upgrade Directions

Unread post by m75 » August 29th, 2018, 2:50 pm

I'm picking back up on installing this upgrade, but if course the directions sheet is now missing. Can someone supply a copy?

Find # 21 in the passenger rear harness.
Break open the connector.
Take the jumper and connect to each end.
The loose wire is then connected to the license plate light.
If you need the assembly I can supply an equivalent with a wire long enough to reach the license plate frame for $15.00 shipped.

Thanks Fil, but what I'm looking for is (properly) called Battery Junction Terminal Kit, part# 12302545. There is a printed schematic that comes with the kit. This schematic is what I'm hoping someone can send me a copy of.

Misunderstood :was relating to a prior post
Every time I used one of those kits I immediately threw the directions away when finished.
In fact the only parts that I used were the jumper and the big electrical stud that mounts between the two batteries.
I then reconnected the battery cable and the jumper.
Any accessory wiring can be added there.
Never used the rubber battery terminal boots and stiffeners because they were too awkward
Always liked the old style boots that surrounded the terminal.
Hope this helps and doesnt confuse the issue more.

If you refer to the -20-1-1 pgs5-60.2 thru 5-65
Change 2
You will find some good info on how the parts are installed.
Its not the original instructions but it is a good alternate.
