I have a new to me A213HW and need to replace the 7-pin cable as it is too short for where my connector is mounted.
After looking at it, I realize the battery disconnect switch (a knife switch) was connected from battery negative to ground.
Though this entirely functions to disconnect the battery from the trailer, it also disconnects the battery from the electric brakes via the Break-Away switch.
That means the disconnect can't be used while towing.
I have installed a new battery box and disconnect switch on the box and need to do a little rewiring. I have created a wiring diagram, based on what I have found and some engineering knowledge and logic. But it is not complete - R.E., the following:
1. How the converter is connected to the reverse battery protection fuse. (A least I think it is connected to the converter from what I read.)
2. Where the 30A circuit breaker (located under the trailer) is connected to the fuse panel.
3. What the Battery fuse is connected to and how it is wired.
4. Where the audio, voltmeter, power, USB units, and Water Heater are connected to the fuse panel.
Attached is my trial schematic. If anyone can provide the above info or correct any errors or omissions , please respond. Note: the isolator and disconnect switch are my additions.
I am trying to get this info from FR, but it appears if they loose their team, there will be no more production as they are claiming that documentation doesn't exist.
I guess that is one for Ripley's Believe-It-Or-Not.
thanks
