battery disconnect relay Sportscoach

I have found this website and forum awesome for troubleshooting and went ahead today and joined.
I found once of your post , which I cant seem to find now re: location of battery disconnect relay on Sportscoach. Mine is 2007 Sportscoach Elite 40QS ,
in short, I activated disconnect switch for first time a few days ago ,was already hooked to shoreline, and everything went dark/dead and now cant get to come back on...
When hooked to shoreline or genny running , A/C works, ( TVs, microwave) but no D/C .It cranks and runs fine too. I have checked power from isolator , to and from transfer switch , and inverter/charger, reset inverter charger and checked that switch is actually working so I feel like the relay is most likely the problem but cant find it and I believe you had a post that described it as in back passenger side compartment under black cover?
There are 2 of those in same compartment as the inverter/charger , Im guessing its 1 of those?
If so, what wires would indicate its the location?
Sorry for long message but I have spent the last 4 nights after work under/around/in/out of the coach and we are planning to leave this next week, Thursday for trip and it would be much more enjoyable if something actually worked inside the coach.
Thanks to everyone in advance and Happy Friday the 13th!!

Thank you everyone !!
Figured out battery disconnect relay was in back passenger side compartment and tested solenoid / relay it's bad , bypassed and cabin is up and running but......
Now magnum inverter / charger will not invert when no Gen or shoreline ?
I did reset it while trying to fix cabin problem but it works fine charging when it's supposed to just not inverting when button on remote pushed to turn on...?
Any ideas on where to start would be greatly appreciated ,
Thanks !!
