hi folks..
today when i got in the car, the 'thing' in the pic was clicking and making a terrible spooling noise.
does anyone know what it is? after it clicks the red light turns on and then turns off.
It definitely connects straight into one of my batteries but i can't tell if it goes into both.
It also has that blue wire which seems to not be connected into anything.
everything seems to be working well in the car but the noise is annoying.
Is it part of the dual battery system or my car alarm/immobiliser? why has it started beeping, spooling and clicking?
It's sitting on the arial side.
thanks for your help in advance - this better not interfere with my forum meet up :s
This looks like the redarc battery isolator. The blue wire is the override battery merge.

As long as your alternator is charging your main battery you should be fine.
If the noise is coming from the isolator, it's a good chance it's faulty and your second battery will more then likely not be getting charged when the engine is running.
