,,, The battery boost switch doesn't do anything when pushed. I was under the impression that it should cause the isolator to open (click). So perhaps the problems is there somewhere.
Now the question is what is common that is needed to close the circuit either manually with the battery boost or automatically to cross charge? Wish I knew more concerning how Winnebago wired up the circuit to provide guidance on what to check next. The theory is pretty much the same but individual application can be different between builders.
Actually the solenoid doesn't close when on shore power, only when ignition is switched on or the boost switch is activated.
