Continuing the discussion from Twizy shut down when headlamps turned on:
As promised, here is a new thread about adding a cable in the glovebox that runs to the 12V battery to allow easy access for charging, testing or topping up with a solar panel.
I did this over 4 years ago so I can’t remember all the details. I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking but ask away if you need more info.
I bought a set of cables from Halfords in the Motorbike section which used a fairly common type of connector. There were versions with croc-clips, ring connectors, fuses and DC jacks as options on the other end as well as rugged extensions. Most came with a waterproof connector sheath too.
I followed the Twizy wiring loom that runs from near the 12V battery and up into the cabin to the fuse box, which is below the LHS glove box. I had already removed the CANbus connector from the glove box for other reasons so I used the hole to run the new cable through. I may have cut and re-terminated the long “extension” lead to suit my needs. The lead in the glovebox is long but the slack usually stays below the glove box, out of the way.
