What is going on? Why are we at each others throats? Aren't we trying to help each other, or is Russia changing out posts? LOL.

The battery boost feature that ties both house battery and chassis batteries together, Has a switch on my panel,When I push that switch does it send voltage to solenoid? or does it make a ground for that solenoid ?

I have determined that the re-lay/ solenoid has one large post which is a hot terminal at all times, it is used as a distribution bus of many house circuits.
WTF, I never said that house circuits are unfused. I said that usually the wire switched is the hot wire, which is why he shows no voltage at the small wires of the solenoid. The FUSED WIRE goes to one side of the switch and when the switch is closed the power is fed to the solenoid. If he took a resistance reading of the two small wires one would show an open and the other would show a short to ground. The open wire would have the 12 volts on it when the switch is thrown to boost.

It is the 2 small posts that are my concern. neither is hot with the obvious wires connected.
we have 1 wire that is not marked, it is neither a ground or 12volt hot..

Can check with a voltmeter. If the ground is switched I would expect to find 12+ at the coil continuously.
Possibly visual inspection to see if the coil is connected direct to the frame.

During normal operation, this Solenoid is controlled by the Intelic brain box. Does that brain box provide ground or power to the solenoid to close it.
