P1000 Need help with dual battery

[sharp]

Lol!! All right, so I have it all wired up everything hooked up everything is where it supposed to be except when I turn the machine on the blue light comes on the isolator tell me that it's working but my voltmeter gauges do not light up. Everything is running to the same ground so I figure the ground is good because the isolator lights up but it must be a power issue

Also don't worry about the blue light on the isolator. It is normal for it to stay on several seconds or minutes after you turn the rig off.

Ok, so you used the wiring harness. The relay that came with the kit needs to be plugged into it.

I have the black wire from the relay running to a hole I tapped in the frame. The red wire running to power and the two green wires running to the neg terminal on the volt meters. Also, how long does this blue light stay on. Been about 20 min since I cut the machine off.

Never mind, I am officially a moron. When I unpacked the box I set all the parts to the side to include the relay that plugs into the orange piece. Then going back through the thread I saw someone said plug the relay into the orange box so I came out here plugged in and turned it on and everything works fine. So thanks for the help guys everything is looking good but I still have the question of how long will this blue lights stay on because it is now been about 35 minutes and it still on.

And, @Jimmyscoin, is good. Excellent work. It was good talking to you. Glad you got it figured out before I called. You've got the hard stuff figured out. Best wishes, and maybe someday we can take a ride together. The Denali Hwy and trails can be a lot of fun.

With new battery that light might stay on as much as 8 hours, mine did. But as the battery gets older it will go off sooner. If it bothers you turn key on without starting it, then turn lights on and the voltage will drop and turn it off. This is normal , I talked to the manufacturer about it.

@Jimmyscoin ... see what I mean? ;-)

I have a ground question. I am putting a full size battery under the seat and will run a + cable to under the hood to an TruAmp. I am also going to run a - cable to under hood to a ground block. Should I also run a ground from the underseat battery to the engine ground?

I would.. I'm running one from under the hood back to the motor

you need to ground the full size battery and grounding block to something, but it doesn't have to be the engine. I grounded my second battery and auxiliary grounding block to the frame under the hood.
