Y would you want to isolate the two batteries? If you isolate one from the alternator how are you going to charge the 2nd battery that is isolated?

i was with him until put the boulder in the back, i just got a mental image of a boulder in the back seat of an 89 accord, and the 4 fucktards trying to load in it in the parking lot of a home depot.

What kind of isolator do you have, the solenoid type or the diode type, do you have a link for it? 94

This is what a diode isolator looks like... http://www.piranhaoffroad.com....r.htm
The solenoid type is the one I linked.

This may help... http://www.bcae1.com/battiso.htm 94

I am pretty sure he did not mean two batt. in the rear, at least he did not say so, only that he had two batt...

I assume he means the one up front and a second one for a system. 94

An EK would make your car a RHD JDM, is it?

Either way there is a 2nd ign. "free pin" on the under dash fuse box, it is perfect for triggering the solenoid, it is hot in RUN only, not in START. 94
