    TD5 Electrical Question

    I want to fit a fridge mount in the rear of my wife's Defender 90 and was wondering if they have the same 50amp constent live lead in the drivers side rear (under the rear speaker) as the Puma has.

    It was available as an option but not a standard fitment. I didnt get it fitted up to big red as it was a live feed with no battery management system. I got the dual battery setup which got me a 30A feed to the back end.

    No you have to run wire from the battery to the rear, Dual core is best ect earth and positive

    There's a standard live feed down the (from memory) right hand side of a Defender. It's not 50A though and I'll have to ask the obvious question: WHat kind of fridge do you use that needs a 50A connection?

    The easiest thing is to run a twin core cable in conduit down the left chassis rail from the battery box and up into the indicator tail light area at the rear.

    I use a power winch to pull the dingy onto the trailer (wife insisted when I bought it) so this would suit that well if it was. No drama's if its not.

    In that case I'd look at running 6 or 8 B&S back to the rear direct from the +/- of the battery and fitting an 50A anderson plug to connect the winch to. If you put a rear junction box in you could have several points come out of it.
