What's this??

Was wondering what the thing with waterproof 150A. ignition protected was for?

For jump starting? Batt is under second row seats…

I know what the terminal is but what is the square black box with waterproof 150A. ignition protected was for this is in the engine compartment.

looks like a breaker of some sort and to cut back on sparks near flammable liquids

Is it the under bonnet HI load supply??

150A is not sufficient for jump starting.

It looks like a circuit breaker or a fuse.

Battery condition monitoring? The screen has a battery state of the nation display in the off road tab. Which includes charging rate in amps, some would need a 150a fuse.

Speaking out of my rear, I'd also guess a circuit breaker device of some sort. Not sure if it's resettable / fused, but it reminds me of common Tacoma setups for auxiliary loads from a fuse block (to protect the battery / vehicle from those loads):

With inspiration from toobluetacoma06 I installed my Blue Sea Fuse Block, Circuit Breaker and Amp Fuse Holder onto a custom built mounting plate. I...

Its a re-settable fuse, doesn't look "factory" so it may be for airbags or another non complient electrical device

Or it is simply a current sensor, which does make sense at this location (no pun intended).

But there are much smaller current sensors for 150 amps available. So just a guess.

No, it really is a flux capacitor.

It's an auto resetting circuit breaker ~ does it just protect the positive terminal from a direct short?

@CountyV8 is that a LHD vehicle? There was a power steering reservoir there on RHD vehicles. Also does that vehicle have the auxiliary battery setup?

The red one - seems to me indeed a jump start connector - and there is a thick cable on the left. - the right element with 150A seems a circuit breaker perhaps preventing energy to be used elsewhere but for jumpstarting. Its a guess - not more. Gonna ask.. Perhaps I visit K&E next week and have a chat.

Perhaps you can take some photographs of the cars waiting there.

Hi, this morning I was at K&E
The red piece is indeed a plastic cover for jump start connector
when plastic cover removed seems to be copper or brass plug with grooves. Confirmed By K&E
currently 21 Vehicles at K&E including one in Mushroom.

I did not take a picture from connector, sadly..
Took some pictures of current collection of customer vehicles but bring it in later. More vehicles are on the way for being delivered to K&E.

I have ordered a MM by K&E

klarie · Apr 5, 2023

this picture was taken this morning.
so obviously a mm one.
don’t know if it’s yours @Hannes01 ..
They ve got a bunch of orders .. and a bunch more to come.

With 150 A?

PS: Now I see. You mean the red thing on the left side, I guess.
I thought about the right box labelled with "150 A".

klarie · Apr 5, 2023

BTW I mentioned you shortly @emax that we are in contact by this forum. Indeed I mentioned the big connector. the little breaker on the right we did not discuss..
