Unless Winne has changed in the past years. Winne did not use a BIRD. They just used a standard metal solenoid, with 2 heavy cables, one on each side. When the Ignition is ON, that closes that solenoid and jumps both battery banks together. If you go to Winne's website you will be able to download the Manual and schematics for your particular model. Older Winne's had a dash switch. It was labeled MOM/AUX and was spring loaded on the MOM side. If you pushed MOM(momentary and the spring loaded side) this engaged that solenoid to use the Coach batteries to start the chassis engine when chassis was low or dead. The AUX side was NOT spring loaded and stayed in the indent and this engaged that solenoid when the Ignition was ON to charge both battery banks. The usual position was always AUX. Do you have this switch? Doug
