Help - battery removal

[N Luyetund]

How do I release the + connection on the vehicle battery?

It's a Fiat 2.3 2006... I've found the quick release on the neg terminal but can't see/find the same on on the posoh:

Sorted!

...there's no quick release, it's a 10mm nut......:Blush:

Next question, it's been on ehu but hasn't charged the veh batt... should it???

In my experience, On EHU, It's normally only the leisure (House) batteries that get charged Graham.

Thanks Steve

I'm still confused (more than usual) the switch on the control panel when on 'house' doesn't allow operating the step...

Yet when switched to veh the step works.... after I disconnected and removed the veh batt...oh:oh:

Hope you have the radio code somewhere as you will have to reinput to make it work.

That would appear to be A++e about Face.I would have expected the electric step to be connected to the House/Leisure Batteries, as it would drain the Motorhome battery if used constantly while on site.

Perhaps someone else has experience of this on a similar vehicle?

The fact it works with the vehicle battery removed while switched to the Vehicle battery!!!! I'm confused as well Graham.oh:

Just had a thought....A motorhome we had some time ago DID have Vehicle and Leisure Switches on the control Panel.

I was under the impression the Vehicle switch only allowed discharge from the battery.Might be worth you reconnecting the Vehicle battery, Putting a multimeter across the Battery and measuring the voltage with the switch off and on.That would prove it.

Can you post a pic of the unit?

Just back from Addenbrookes... (usual congestion on the A14)

Batts on charge at the mo...

Pix... ammeter.... oh: far too techie, now, if you'd said hammer....

Thanks for the help Steve, I'm in no rush to get the van sorted as we won't be going anywhere for a while
