Unhappy Thor Axis Battery Control Center?

I replaced my house batteries, but nothing turns on. Ground power is fine for everything. I saw a video showing a circuit breaker in the battery control center, but now i cannot find the battery control center. The video said it was in the right rear of the engine comparment, but when I open the front panel, I found nothing there. So where is it and how do I get there? Thankis.

Question Maybe there is no BCC

I've called Thor customer support: they did not know about a Battery Control Center. They told me to check the two circuit breakers in the house battery compartment. Both of those work fine.

I did notice that I do not get a click when I press the battery disconnect switch. Could that be bad?

I sure wanted to find the fix myself, but my wife has laid down the law: if I can't fix it then I have to set up a service call at the dealer. Sigh. It will kill me if there was a simple fix and I had to pay $100 to learn what it was...

Look real hard for a wire left off.

The breaker on the back side wall of the battery tray is hard to see, but its what powers the house.

I have an Axis and ill take a look in a few. I reworked the battery tray but it was 2 years ago.


Just looked at mine. One battery, the one closer to the front, has 1 wire on the positive post, that goes to the other battery positive post.

The other battery positive post, towards the rear, has 2 wires leading away, plus the jumper from the front battery.

1 heavy cable goes to the BIM, which is under the hood, drivers side, that's for boost starting and charging.

A smaller wire goes to the breaker, next to the battery, on the wall. From there, That wire goes into the house and powers the house stuff.

That breaker has a trip button and a reset lever. Make sure the lever is pushed into the body of the breaker.

Wink So much for a cheap fix

I finally took my Axis into the shop. $353.72 later, I have a new solenoid (located under the refrigerator) and connected house batteries.

Nobody told me that the many thousands of dollars I spent on this RV was only the down payment. Sigh.

Thanks for your help.

If you're is like mine, that automatic transfer switch is under the stove.

I pulled out all of the lower drawers to find this stuff.
