There is a small covered plug at the rear on the door side. What is that? Solar?

should be for solar plug in. you should also find a set of wires at the other end to connect to the battery.

It is a solar plug in. I'm surprised it's so tiny. All the wires at the other end are connected. Should they be if you are not using solar? The negative was loose and I tightened it. The battery looks good, an Interstate deep cycle, is that a good one? factory? ------------- |

The decal kind of disintegrates over time, I removed my ratty one the other day. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |
