Can anyone tell me which battery terminal to disconnect when fitting a coolant alarm and what colour is it? Also where do I earth the red and black wire? Also how do I remove the spare wheel from under the van and any ideas about the rear wiper not working-I think that is it!
Many thanks,
Newby

to fit the alarm its probably best to remove the negative terminal

earth to any chassis bolt especially if another earth is connected there

She spare is lowered via a elongated hole inside the rear door with the lowering tool and ratchet in the compartment in the side door step.

The rear wiper is probably the wiring between door & body - http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... rear+wiper

If you are not planning to already, ditch the space saver spare if you've got one under there & replace with a full size spare.

The long bar is often clipped to the 'roof' of the compartment by the step in the side door, and can be tricky to find if you don't know that. :wink:

Auto electricians golden rule is 'negative terminal, disconnect first, reconnect last'
