I have been looking around my TD 150 for a good spot to mount the redarc isolator and the best solution I could find to allow an upright mount (not required, i know, just want to do it that way) was to remove the "PTC" relay box next to the main fuse box and put the redarc in between the main fuse box and the diesel filter. This seems like the best out-of-the-way area that allows an upright mount, has a flat surface to fix to and is close to the main battery.
I my vehicle, the PTC relay box has 3 fuse positions labeled PTC 1,2 and 3, with power to the input leg of the relays but none of the positions actually have relay's installed. Does this mean this box is just a generic install component for something that doesn't exist, therefore safe to remove (obviously after correctly terminating the live wires to prevent shorts)?
I did some googling and seemed to come across something called a PTC heater (basically an electric heater that complements the coolant one in a vehicle to warm the cab quicker), so would this be something used only for "cold climate" spec vehicles?
Was hoping someone could confirm before I make a few "permanent" mods!
