You want lighting in your footwells?

Another Aux power wire end is also found near the aux battery under the rear seat (it has 3 wires, circuit rated at 40 amps):

I think the third is an ignition source, but not 100% sure.

Can I assume you mean
The brown lead (cable?) .......
Black is Ground???
I have only seen the same image. Someone else on the site suggested the ignition source, but I cannot find that link now.

Brown is the third, as white/cream and black are the other two.
Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough

There are three wires (cables or leads if you prefer)

The brown wire is heavy duty and is permanently live. It is on fuse F113 (40amp).

The black wire is the associated earth (or ground if you prefer)

The yellow wire is live with the ignition.

I connected my compressor up to these three wires earlier today.

Hope that clarifies a bit for you

I deleted my post after reading your original one, I had missed it on the first read. Your post was clear.

I have taken it as a screenshot, so I know what is what when I come to use it. Although it would be easier if INEOS would release a wiring guide for the aux power sources.

So much tech info is coming to light on the forum. Thanks to all.

I like your compressor install.
Looks like a neat solution

Why did you use all three? Did you use a relay to make live only with ignition on?

Hi. Please can you send some pics of the ARB compressor installation?
Thanks
Is this what you are looking for Larry?

Hi guys, today I connected Deutsch plugs to the two cable ends in the engine compartment (10 amp and 25 amp).
The 10 amp line is switched via switch EXT1 and the 25 amp via switch EXT5.

I used a Deutsch DT for the 10 amp and a Deutsch DTP (like on the roof) for the 25 amp.

I really struggled with this and was once again very annoyed about the assembly in Hambach and the development/construction.
Both cable ends are tied off so short from the thick cable harness that you must not have completed your 10th year of life for your hands to still fit in. It took me hours.
I have connected a high-voltage device with metal plates in the engine compartment and underneath to the 10 amp socket for marten repellent, which I only activate via the switch when necessary. My vehicle is usually parked in the garage.

However, the 25 amp socket has no voltage. I assume that this is related to the software issue in connection with the missing front winch and the Nato socket. This currently has no voltage either if you have not fitted a front winch. I will clarify this later.

During assembly, I discovered that the thin cables leading to the brake fluid reservoir sensor were so stretched that they would have torn off in the foreseeable future.
Again I was annoyed with the production people in Hambach. Surely this had to be noticed during assembly!

The easiest thing I could do was to build a strain relief. I pulled the whole wiring harness up a bit and the thin cable to the brake fluid reservoir was relaxed again.
Have any of you already fitted these cable ends with connectors? And do you have voltage on the 25amp socket? With or without front winch?

And by the way, how can you be so clumsy as to use some kind of insulation material in the engine compartment. Martens love that kind of thing. This shows that the developers have little practical experience.

You beat me on this, this was my next goal, DTP connectors on these wires.
I measured voltage on both lines, the 25A and 10A, as I explained somewhere on another thread.

I understand your anger against Ineos, they don't treat us as we should be treated: not enough decent information!
And these wires should have had a connector!

I will check the brake fluid sensor cables, thanks for the tip.
