I only turned on the inverter to see what voltage the house batteries were pushing b/c it has a rudimentary battery monitor on it. I mentioned it here to show that power was working before I tried to start the generator.
I think you're both right about the wiring, though...I need to figure out what powers what. I'm pretty sure the chassis battery doesn't get charged with the converter, and having the auxiliary switch powered by the chassis battery would explain why it didn't work this time. Shoddy workmanship, if that's the case...and completely defeats the purpose of the switch in the first place.
Anyway, family stuff today but now I know what I need to check on next week.
