Thanks Richard for all the help. I do have 12V power to the primary input of both solenoids. There is also 12V power to the circuit board being fed from the red wire via the fuse and this also puts 12V on the lug that it's attached to. The white wire to the other terminal is feeding 12V to it. When I have my wife press and hold the cut-off switch I get 12V on the output of both solenoids but only briefly. My e-mail is j.wilson@reagan.com. Jack

More Info. With battery isolator switch closed and no power through the solenoids the only 12 volt functions I have are power to the inverter and to the refrigerator. The inverter is a Trace RV-3012. The isolator/maintainer is a KEEP-IT-UP, model LE-415.. The solenoid is labeled as a KIB #LR 9806C-BIP, 2304. I have uploaded some pictures to Photobucket which can be viewed here: http://s408.beta.photobucket.com/user/mvpapillon/library/Solenoid

The link **** posted appears similar to what I have but without the circuit board.I will check to see if there are any other 12 volt functions and try to get a good picture of the solenoid and its arrangement and post it today.

UPDATE I did a search for Intellitec latching solenoids and am now convinced my solenoid is an Intellitec item. Ebay had several of these with pictures and they had the integral fuse holder on the bottom but none showed the small circuit board attached to the secondary terminal as I have. BTW, I do have power at the input of each solenoid and when the cut-off switch is pressed I get voltage at the output of each solenoid but only briefly i.e., it is not latching. Obviously the solenoid needs to be replaced but I am not sure about that little circuit board.

Thanks for all the input from everyone on this issue. I do have the purple wire and white wire to the solenoids as described but I do not have the gray wires as mentioned and shown in the drawings. The solenoids on mine are not arranged or wired the same as shown on the Monaco drawing. In my system the solenoids are arranged vertically and the upper solenoid has an integral fuse block on the bottom of it with a 5 amp fuse. From this 5 amp fuse there is a red lead going to a small ckt board with a mounting hole. This ckt board is attached to one of the secondary terminals of that same solenoid and one of the wires coming off it goes to the other terminal of the same solenoid. The back side of the ckt board has the following information: KIB, BIP 101, dated 01/30/06 . Mounted on the front of this ckt board is a small black cube with the following info stamped on it: 963-1C-1205, 15A 12VDC, Coil: 400 Ohms, dated 06/12. Based on the dates I am assuming the system has been revised/updated to correct an earlier problem. Could this be the Intellitec system mentioned by desertdeals69? I have contacted Monaco to see if there is a wiring diagram for this arrangement. All input is greatly appreciated.

I don't think it is an Intellitec system. I do have the Itellitec for control of the water pump but this seems to be the normal 12 volt solenoids There are actually 2 solenoids and the one upsteam of the 4 terminal unit I replaced has 2 terminals and there are wires going to the 4 terminal unit.

I have a 2003 Monaco Executive with the ISM 500 engine. I cannot establish 12 volt house power using the battery cut-off switch located on the passenger side console. This switch has a sliding release lock and the manual states that the switch locks in the ON position however mine will not lock. When I do release the lock and push it to ON I can hear the solenoid(s) click but even while holding the switch in the ON position I still do not have 12 volt power. I have replaced the solenoid that has 4 terminals (2 primary terminals for 2/0 wire and 2 secondary) and there is no change. Does anyone know if the switch is supposed to lock in place or is the voltage supposed to be latched in by a momentary contact of the switch? Are there other components that I could test/replace to correct this problem?

I am purchasing a coach with a Cummins ISM-500 with an Allison 4000 transmission. In my previous coach I had the old style selector with an indicator for the gear selected and another for the gear that the transmission is actually in at the moment. This coach has only the single window showing the gear selected. Is there an after market indicator one can add to show the gear that the Allison is in?
