Since all the info for the ex-aa vans is scattered around the site thought it maybe of some use to all of Team Yellow if the info was put in one thread not sure where to put it so if a friendly Mod knows better please move it.
2003 and later Models had all there electrics controlled by one main box under the drivers seat by a box marked "solid state control unit"

It has a small black control unit attached to it by a Lan (computer network) cable which either sits on the dash or a small cubby hole to the right of the steering column . From this you can control the beacons (hi/low flashing ambers and left/right alley), Hand wash station, Jump sockets and Saloon lights.
Jump lead sockets on the front and rear of the van use a Anderson yellow 175 amp socket (The amp rating isnt the main issue - the colour is. Yellow denotes 12v. No other colour will fit).

You can either crimp or solder them to a set of chunky jump leads (just cut off one end of the Croc clips). If you are soldering them Id recommend that you fit a handle on the socket so are not putting too much stress on the joints.
The little red button
The little red button on the dash is for keeping the engine on with the keys removed. Start the engine up and make sure the handbrake is on. Press the red button for a few seconds until a L.E.D lights up. Now you can remove the keys with the engine still running. Great for those cold mornings. Note if you release the handbrake the alarm will go off.
AA vans were serviced by BT Fleet. if you donnt have the service history it is possible to get a copy from them. Go to http://www.btfleet.com/contact-us/contact-btFleet.aspx and enter your vehicle details and ask it they can supply you the service history.
