Which battery isolator relay
Hi all,
I just bought a 1992 Jamboree on a Ford E350 chassis. I noticed that the chassis alternator will not charge the aux battery.
my understanding is that the left switch in the picture is:

down - aux is disconnected from chassis
middle - aux connected to chassis when ignition switch is on
up - aux connected to main for emergency start.
Is that so?
If so - sometime it works and sometimes not... I am almost sure that the battery isolator relay is defective, and it is not the original.
How many amp should the replacement relay be? 80Amps for $20? 200Amps for $50? more?
Help is appreciated,
-Guy
