in a 24V system, you have a common link between the 2 batteries.. look for the battery that has got its -ve connected to the other batteries +ve, this is like the main battery.. with this battery (batt 1 - main), get power fromt he +ve & ground to chassis (batt 2 is the battery grounded to chassis)..

it may seem confusing, but I can probably draw up something later :cool:

is it on a MQ patrol, if it is, the battery on the passenger side is where you wana get the 24 V from. it should be the rear terminal, but you can check because the other terminal will be connected to the other battery.....

Sorry once again to all the above posts, yes you can then use the diagram illistrated then, you are not actully coming off one battery, if you were then you would tap the negative from the negative of one battery and the positive from the same battery, basicly in robs diagram you are comming of both the bateries in series, this is ok. I will remove my previous post as it is probably misleading to the thread

if you follow that diagram youll be right, and 24 V is better than 12 V dude, less current draw. just you gotta be a bit cluey, but all the help you need is right here. :D

hope it works out for you.. :armsup:

I know I will be using that same diagram / loom in a few weeks to wire up my own spot lights.

btw, where did you get the 24V relay? how many amps is it rated for?
