In my rig I have a rocker switch which connects to a relay. Perhaps your relay isn't working. Also - if you have a relay like the one in the link make sure the fuses are OK.

A wire runs from the battery to a switch at the door and back to the convertor compartment connecting to the fuses that supply power to the house, except the refrigerator whose power doesn’t go through the disconnect switch at the door. It sounds simple but the wiring looks complicated. A diagram of how your setup is wired would help us to help and probably de-mystify it for you as well. Some voltages at various places would clarify various things. For instance is there 12 volts between the two connections on the switch? 2004 E350 Adventurer (Canadian) 20 footer - Alberta, Canada No TV + 100W solar = no generator needed pushtoy 2 • View posts texas Full Member Joined: 02/06/2018 View Profile Offline Posted: 05/31/19 05:20am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator thank all of you for your reply.I guess I will have to do more testing don't know how to tell if the relay is bad?

The one on yours more than likely looks like the old ones Ford use to use back in the 1960's.

Can't find a fuse or don't know where to look..the solenoid has juice on both side of it with no shore power or genie. or motor battery connected so iam not gona worry too much about it right now just disconnect the battery when I store it. all ideas are welcome pushtoy 2 • View posts texas Full Member Joined: 02/06/2018 View Profile Offline Posted: 06/04/19 07:56pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator fixed my battery disconnect to day.. took out the electronic one and put in a manual one.
