Mount a Ford starter solenoid above the battery charge divider.
The separator solenoid itself works. Applying 12V to the coil clicks and closes the (normally open) relay.
What would an additional starter solenoid do?
Or are you saying:
a) use existing separator relay for manual switch to connect both batteries (drained car battery)
b) use 2nd Ford starter solenoid, run "key on" power to it. This will ensure that house and car battery are connected when engine is running (and both get charged).
Before doing any modifications, I would like to FIX what is there (or at least determine what is broken). Here: do I have a IRD or BIRD or BCC that is not working properly? Where is it located? Is that IRD or BIRD fused (maybe bad fuse)?
