Thanks a lot Dale. I haven't used the Aux Start before. Is there any protocol for that? Keys in the ignition in aux, etc.?
Not really. As long as there's enough power to activate the solenoid pressing the switch on the dash will tie the house and chassis batteries together. Switch is spring loaded so as soon as you let go the circuit opens.
One other thing to try is with the coach quiet cycle the AUX Battery Disconnect switch near the door. With the coach quiet you can sometimes hear the solenoid activating which will at least let you know that part of it is working.
I hear the solenoid on the AUX switch when I trigger it now. Even with the battery charge down to 11.4 that is still loudly switching.
Now looking at the wiring diagram (thanks for the link) I see the "Battery Node Solenoid" between the house batteries and the AUX Switch which they name the "Battery Disconnect Relay". That relay has to be powered by the engine battery so with it working yet no show of the battery charge on the house batteries showing up at the converter it's probably that solenoid. I'll give your Aux Start switch a test tomorrow and in the meantime figure out where that Battery Node Solenoid is located. Thanks again-
