Ford Focus Estate 1.8tdi 1999 diesel - Installing a split relay system - JoefromLiverpool

Good morning, I own a Ford Focus 1.8lt diesel Mk1 estate and I am going to install a split relay system that I have bought so that I can charge my leisure battey.

I need help on finding the starter motor so that I can connect my negative wire to it, (instructions say "connect to small wire on starter motor, this is a earth when not cranking).

Also I need to find "Ignition Positive (ON)"

and where is a good earth for my leasure battery (installed at the back of my estate car?).

Thankyou, regards Joe

What type of split charge relay have you bought?It doesn't sound very special to me.From the instructions ,it appears to be no more than a 4 pin regular relay.hth
