power 508 pto on/off switch 699 diagnostic power 700 fuse/relay power brakesaver power 660. The switch toggles one way to make the relay connection and the other to break it. I have tried everything checked fuses pdm box battery fuses. Post by-pass both were good, until a very hot smell up the hill, then not working. A Battery Disconnect is usually wired to a momentary switch, a two-way toggle with a dead center. On a side note: I also noticed just before the bypass, that the indicators weren't working, nor was the fuel gauge. The solenoid should pick within one minute after starting the engine if the alternator is outputting at least 13.5 volts. The key was the voltage required to get the BIRD to engage the Big boy solenoid so house and chassis batteries. I first ran into it on American coach products and then Monaco products. The solenoid may activate (clunk), but not actually close the internal contacts. That era BIRD and Big boy were first generation and there was a situation that developed as the batteries aged or were neglected. Many people are confused about why these are. A burned out (open) pick coil is the most common failure. The battery isolator will ensure that the power inside the RV for your electronics does not draw power from the engine battery. So here are the questions: What is this thing called? And any idea where I can get another? A battery isolator is used in most RVs and motorhomes it isolates the batteries from each other inside the vehicles, ensuring there is always power to start the engine.
We were only about three miles from home, so things looked good. Contact us to make sure the switch you’re interested in is compatible with your vehicle. We also carry RV battery solenoids to handle high-current applications. So, after a few checks, the AA guy reckoned that it was ok to by-pass, and sure enough the winnie started straight away. The Battery Disconnect Relay is a mechanically latching switch that operates by the momentary application of battery voltage to the coil terminals in one. These RV battery disconnect switches are designed to work with a number of popular RV models, including Holiday Rambler, Monaco Coach, Fleetwood, REV RV, Tiffin, and American Coach. When checked there was a massive drop in current across it. No idea what it is called, and it seems to be absent from all of the wiring diagrams too! There was no power forward of this unit. So did some checking and narrowed it down to the switch over thing next to the battery. No power to the dashboard, no clunk from the starter. Got back to the D19 after shopping, turned the key: got nothing at all. I've also toyed with the idea of getting the second alternator put in, and set it up to only charge the camper (but this gets complicated to do right and you run the risk of frying the 2nd alternator if you disconnect the 'house' while the truck is running - so I may or may not do that.So on the first run after the improved door, I ended up on the side of the road. These isolators are relatively trouble free, but like any mechanical device are subject to occasional failure. The solenoid doesn’t use any power in itself, other than a tiny amount when the ignition system is switched on. Anyone have any suggestions as to a good/simple place under the hood to get that from? The isolator in my Lance camper died, so I am going to change to the truck mounted solenoid instead. Another wire connects the relay to the positive post of the SLI battery, and another runs back to the RV. I'm not sure how they all work, but the setup that seems best to me is the plain high-current capable solenoids mounted on the firewall (they fail open, can handle up to 100 amps, and seem to be long lasting), and simply need a lead from a 'key-on' circuit from the truck. Some of the battery isolators/relays suffer from voltage drop and fail closed versus open, and the vary in how dependable they are. I agree, I'd prefer to make my own choices about the current needs and how it is mounted up and even hooked in to the alternator.
