Ideal for VW Bus with two batteries

Do you have a VW Bus? Would you like to use two batteries? Have you read all the posts about dual batteries and still don't know which method to use? Look no further, this product is exactly what you need! Yes, you have to assemble wires that are precut and connected to the other guys kit, but this is even easier and serves the same purpose! Got that pesky, useless diagnostic test plug stuck in the engine bay of your bus? Well it's time to get rid of this thing, this magnet installs in the same place with the same screws, you just need to add a couple of washers. So no modifications or drilling on your classic VW. Once installed, installation is simple: one wire (I have an 8 gauge wire) from the starter battery to the solenoid, and another 8 AWG wire from the other side of the solenoid to the positive side of the house battery. Then take the signal wire from the alternator signal light wire, the turquoise wire that comes from the voltage regulator and you're done! Wait! You don't want to run into the wiring harness of the alternator and you have a type 4 bus with a heater fan? Well you're in luck, the same turquoise wire goes to this fan's relay, so you can hook that up too!
