Hi guys.
I’m in need of help to get my esc working on my 2015 20.64 expanda.
It works when connected to car in reverse. So I know it’s works as green lights turn on.
But what do I need to do in simple terms to get it working properly? Can I swap pins around? Please explain what I can do.
I’m handy and can do myself, also a sparky but not an auto elec. I know there’s a massive difference.

I also have an Anderson on car set, but which I need to run an Anderson plug on caravan direct to fridge terminals for this still. What’s the best way to do this also?

Thank you!!

Your ESC takes its power from the tug, so seeing it only works in Reverse then I assume its wired to the reverse pin (pin 2), with a 12pin plug one way to do an easy sort out is disconnect the vehicle reverse wire on the tug plug (2) and run a jumper wire from 12v feed (pin 8 or 9) to the reverse pin, then you will have 12v to your ESC powered up all the time, that would be the feed that charges the van battery so cabling should be adequate if its a 12 pin plug,

For your van fridge feed, run at least an 8 B&S cable direct from the tug anderson back to your fridge, at the fridge end fit another anderson so the drop from the heavy cable to the smaller fridge wiring is achieved, fit a fridge switch between that anderson and the fridge and your tig battery won't go flat ...... you could do a jumper plug from this circuit at the tug anderson to feed the ESC, it certainly would be no loss on the cable ..
