Battery Disconnect switch

Ok, I have read thru several posts via search.

The Battery Disconnect switch will not turn on anything. I can start vehicle. after 18hrs of sitting check voltage at house batteries, 12.46 volts. I switched main switch nothing comes on. I can hear (sounds like) relay clicking. If i start coach after a few minutes i can get lights to come on after several times of switching switch, then it works for minutes on/off, off/on, but if it sits for minutes it will not work again. I am trying to read thru electrical diagrams... slow process

any help THANK U....

Most likely the contacts your "battery disconnect solenoid" have gone bad.

BTW, I have never used my battery disconnect switch in the 15 years, (114k miles), I've owned my coach...(why do you use yours?).
Wondering
