House batteries are charged but wont work.
I have a complicated issue. When I try to run my house batteries the only way I've managed to get them work is if I hold down on my house battery switch. I have tried clamping down the switch in order...

you held the switch down, and the relay/solenoid burned out
that means it was NOT rated for continuous duty
please post pictures of what you are replacing
So I've looked into this and it seems this could be the problem. The solenoid I have currently is a starter solenoid. I will replace it with a continuous duty solenoid/relay. I gotta say though I am not finding any locally and the ones that I am seeing online do look identical to my current one. Some are black and shaped differently but the ones I am looking at are indeed continuous duty and people say in the comments they've used it on their RV for their AUX battery.
To answer the question on where the click is, it is the silver shiny solenoid that is making the clicking sound when I use the switch for the house batteries.
I will update you on my progress. Thanks everyone for your time and comments its greatly appreciated and has been a lot of help.
