Hi Rob, noticed you have replaced battery charger with fraron ,going to order one myself but all the technical info on their site in german,has I am not an auto electrician but going to have a go fitting myself .Did you manage to get info in English or did you just know through experience,any help gratefully received cheers phil
 
It was really quite straight forward. Just had to run new cables to the batteries which are supplied , the display plug is there and just plugs in. I left all the original cables in just in case I ever get the original fixed.
Mains cable is at the back bit again an extension is supplied.
I mounted the fraron on an aluminium plate the same size as the original charger base plate so it mounts using the original fixngs. Took a couple of hours to do. However I have done electronics as a job for a while so if you are not that confident may be worth seeing if someone can help local to you, where are you?

Down hear in poole
 
It will be related to the thin red and black wires not being connected. There is a thread on here somewhere with a similar issue.

Ah Dan, thought you'd vanished ?
 
Sorry, I got lost in my engine bay. Back now. For a while, anyway...

Sorry been hibernating! Green light on when mains connected. I went for charging and 14.4 based on the voltage readings others get on their OE chargers .
