I have a 2000 traedwind diesel we lost our 12 volt system. have narrowed it down to the battery disconnect solidonid but can not locate it's location to check it. Does anyone know where the solidonid is located that operates the battery disconnect? I have some time but have plans to go soon

Yes, I know where it is located..... It's on the BACKSIDE of your 12VDC distribution panel (circuit board). It cannot be seen from the front. On my coach, this panel is behind a plastic cover, mounted on the rear wall, behind the Inverter, in the last rear bay, driver's side. You can feel the big relay with your hand. You will likely have to pull the circuit board to get at it for replacement if it proves to be bad. This schematic will be helpful.... Rook

Once you find the solenoid, if you need power until you get a replacement, you can take one of the wires off one of the large posts and connect it to the post with the other large wire. This by-passes the solenoid and allows power to flow.
