Trombetta solenoid (battery disconnect)
I have a 2008 Monaco Knight skq40. The voltage to the solenoid is 13.4 and the voltage out is 12.0. Is this normal or should it be replaced

The trombetta solenoid closes when either the emergency switch is engaged or the generator charges the chassis batteries or the alternator from the chassis is charging the house batteries..The one they use from the factory goes due to corroded connections...replace it with an updated one, (it has a suffix of -20 on it instead of -10)...and then I bet it will work again as it should..right now it looks like it isn't closing to charge the bridge up.
You will notice the OP stated Battery Disconnect, NOT the charge solenoid. That is why I asked him to post a pic. There are 2 solenoids. The Battery Disconnect and the Charge solenoid. I believe he is confused about which solenoid he is looking at, hence the pic I requested. Doug
