What Connections Are these?

Hi guys, No electronic experience here what so ever.



What are these things? The bigger contraption is a Battery isolator? tracing it back looks like an anderson plug was installed near the towbar but the previous owner cut off for some reason leaving not andersonplug.

Is the heat sink looking part a reducer?




What is this?




I have another Anderson plug located in the boot, could I connect both the towbar anderson wiring and the one in the boot to the one battery isolator, therefore be able to run an additional 2 batteries on the one isolator?


Cheers Guys.

1st item is a solenoid, quite likely used to take a feed from the main battery to an Anderson plug that fed power to a camper trailer etc. Some form of trigger to switch it on when the ignition is on probably. Wiring is very light though and looks barely 6mm2 so I wouldn't be powering anything in a van with that. Typically you would want to run double that size for that sort of distance. 2nd item is a 20A auto reset circuit breaker.

That is part of the Prado and not an aftermarket accessory.
