I took out the solenoid which appears to be a latching relay, KIB LR9806. Both fuses were blown. The main terminals had a dead short so there was power to the coach, but no way to turn it off with disconnecting the batteries. My guess is the old stuck switch was a momentary switch and the parts guy provided an on/off switch which when left on overloaded the fuses. The switch was a Sigma LR20985 which appears to be available in several configurations. I am not sure how to test the latching relay. Would it fail in the closed position? Most solenoids I am familiar with fail in the open position.
