Booster solenoid location

Good morning all, just picked up a 2006 Fleetwood Jamboree 31m, chassis battery went dead (I left the radio on for days), hit the boost button but no clicking and no power from the house batteries. Can someone tell me where the solenoid is? I've looked around a bit but too cramped in there to see anything. Thanks

Update to my original post

2006 Fleetwood Jamboree 31m, replaced the chassis battery, everything is good under the hood however, the alternator is not charging the house batteries and the emergency start does not appear to be working. I have all the electrical diagrams from Fleetwood but I'm not an electrician so I find them confusing. I assume I have a bad solenoid somewhere. Looks like there's one under the coach step (buried kinda deep) but I believe it's the 12v isolation (salesman switch), which works. Can someone tell me where the solenoid to charge the house batteries might be?

You could follow the cables from both set of batteries to the isolator relay.
It is probably silver and looks like an old ford starter relay.
It is a constant duty relay. So don't replace it with a momentary Ford starter relay.

rn most isolation solenoids fail it's due to internal contacts burnt up. They still clunk when activated, just don't connect.

Yours sounds like the small gauge wiring issue between the switch and solenoid. See if your getting 12 volts to one of the small terminals while the holding the boost switch. The other small terminal is ground.

I believe you will find it in the battery control center. It is a metal box about a foot square. It is under the hood on a class a but it might not have enough room in a class c. It will still be close to the batteries.

Maybe your BCC is under the hood but many are in the battery compartment, in a side compartment.

Thanks for your help. I Replaced the 3 post White-rodgers solenoid (original was toast), still not getting reverse charging when on Shore power or RV running. All fuses are good. Could the problem be with the single purple wire? it comes from a small electronic box inside that small compartment labeled "solenoid"
