Is this a viable short term work-around??? Assuming for a moment that I don't care about having a functioning Battery Disconnect switch by my side entry door, can I just use a properly gauged wire jumper across the two large terminals on this solenoid? If my understanding of how the battery disconnect switch works (providing just a temporary voltage to 'latch' this solenoid on/off) and how the solenoid works (effectively connecting or disconnecting the two thick cables on the large terminals) then it seems like if I wanted to bypass both of them and always have the batteries "on" then I could simply connect a properly sized jumper across the two large terminals. Right??? Please let me know if I am missing anything. There are other wires connected to this solenoid and I'll be honest, I am not sure what they all are or what they all do (...so maybe putting a jumper across the two large terminals would actually be a bad idea...)
Or is this solenoid more complex? Perhaps it is doing certain things to isolate the charge coming from the chassis alternator when simultaneously plugged into shore power (and the converter/charger is on)???
Thoughts from you experts??
Thanks!!
Chris
