Battery disconnect wiring

[Dmeyer07]

Hi
I'm replacing this battery disconnect with just a basic three-way momentary switch.

Here are the wires I've figured out so far
White = ground
Green = ground
Orange = 12v
Grey= neither power nor ground
Purple= neither power nor ground

I can't locate the relay.

Attached our pictures I found in the owner's manual.

What am I doing wrong?

I've lost use of my battery because I disconnected the switch. And naturally the switch pcb board broke when disconnecting it.

Woohoo success thank you good sir for the help. I'm not sure why this confused me I guess it's just been a long couple days lol but I really appreciate your help.

So to recap
orange equals 12 volts
White equals ground
Gray and purple equal coil wires

Looks like you got it.

So Orange and white to the center terminal on the SPDT switch
gray and purple to the top or bottom and purple and gray to the other end.
(Note the reverse of colors.)

It's a good system. Careful of the 5 amp fuse.

NOTE if you have a box somewhere labeled "Intelletec Battery Control" the Solenoids are inside that behind the fuse panel There are also Test points on the fuse panel Left side about 1/3 the way down the test points consist of a Tab and a Pad.. Using a test light clip on the tab and touch the pad.. Operating the switch EITEHR WAY should cause light to bright.. Volt meter will show + one way and - the other.

Been there.. Done that. As they say.

Okay so orange wire gives me 12 volts to a good ground (battery).
White wire gives me a bright light with the test light, and infinity when testing between the other wires that have no voltage.
It also gives me 0.5 ohms resistance to battery ground
So white is ground
Orange is 12v
I have gray and purple neither of these have voltage, but they do have continuity to each other. 4.4 ohms but OL to ground so I'm guessing these two are my coil wires
I have one last wire it is green, this switch was lit.
I'm not sure what this green wired does or where it should go, it has zero volts to ground and no continuity to ground. I suppose I can just disregard this green wire.
So to recap
orange equals 12 volts
White equals ground
Gray and purple equal coil wires

This is the switch I'm connecting to can you help me with how I should wire it

Thank you so much

Ok your system has two switches one for each battery

The switches have either e or 5 wires and are DPDT momentary center off

The 4 wires are Positive (12 volts) Negative (Ground) Relay 1 and relay 2.

There may also be a 5th "indicator" if the switch lights up

You will need to figure out which wires run to the solenoid. These will have NO VOLTAGE on them when you measure with a meter.

But they will show continunity (Resistance other than open/zero)

Measure them to a known good ground for voltage.. Then find out which ones are ZERO volts to Known good ground (The remaining wire shoudl show battery voltage. mark it

Now measure between the "no voltage" on resistance.. Infinity. one of those wires is GROUND.. if you swap one wire for the 3rd and you still get INFINITY then the wire you did not swap is Ground.. USe a test light to check for current flow (hook clip to wire you think is ground and tip to the known 12 volt lead) Bright light = You got it

The other two should show a connection other than zero/infinity and they are the coil.

Now the switch wiring DPDT switches have six terminals
Power goes to one side center. Ground the other side center

Relay leads to the end (one on each side> and then two jumpers to the other end but CROSSED OVER.. IF the switch works as you wish (UP =Connects Down Disconnects GOOD. IF not Turn the switch over or flip either the Power/Ground or the relay pair.

how it works

THe relay is a magnetic latch.. Put power to the coil so it flows one way and CONNECT.. The other DISCONNECT.. That simple.
