All fuses I could find checked.
Put everything back together.
Don't know where the 2 purple wires for the separator relay should go.
One has continuity to the emergency switch, the other NOT.
None show 12V or ground with shore power plugged in or otherwise.
Separator relay is working when manually applying 12V to the one pin (not sure where ground comes from).
I will no try to check if battery is charging under shore power and engine running. Not sure how, but one test: measure battery voltage alone, and then with shore power on and also with engine running. If voltage shows notably higher, then some charging must occur.
If battery is charging: I will give up on finding/fixing the BIRD or IRD or else mystery device, will run house and car battery together and disconnect and isolate any wires to/from emergency switch and to/from separator relay.
Enough with this Fleetwood wiring and documentation nonsense.
