There is a chassis battery disconnect switch, that operates a solenoid for the engine battery, and it is "slow", so what is the mystery?
The solenoid is "slow" and needs to be replaced. Or don't I "get it" ? I know some solenoids need to be tapped with a hammer to get them to snap over. Yours is just gummed up, but will still go over eventually. Or just soak it in silicone spray to loosen it up?
Lets see, I once before had a fading disconnect but it somehow, corrected itself so I know it should not be slow and it should work as the House disconnect does "quickly". If I thought a simple replacement was all it needed, I'd spend the 40 bucks and do it(and I may just do that) but something tells me its all inter-related. Last time this happened, I believe I had a shorted battery hence, that's where I started since many times that's a good starting point. Bottom line is a I think there is a cause and effect other than a bad solenoid...that would be too easy. LOL :-)
Anyways....a tap or two can't hurt, Thanks for the thoughts.
