I installed the new(ish) 12v continuous duty solenoid relay. Unfortunately it failed. Having the same result as the other starter solenoid *click-click* on - off. However this is a super cheap-o one from amazon that I am sending back. I will order a more higher end one instead of the bargain bin deal when I arrive at my next destination. Hopefully it will get me a different result as for now we are in the middle of preparing for a move up into Ithaca and who knows maybe I will find some electrical guru on the way. Until I can get back to digging around tho we will be side barring this whole ordeal.
Thanks once again to everyone for your input and time.
Go back and re-read my previous post. You do NOT want a Continuous Duty Relay for your battery disconnect. You want a Latching Relay. The Latching Relay will turn on when you press the switch, but it will STAY on when you release the switch.
