2006 Fleetwood Excursion House battery issue

Recommended Posts

Haven't been to rv in about 9 months. House batteries were dead. Replaced house batteries (4) and when i energize the aux battery cutoff switch the lights on the monitor panel come on and then immediately go out.  I suspect the battery cut off relay is bad.  Any thoughts

Well the next test is checking the battery side of the relay, do you have 12.5 there?

Then the output side with the relay on/energised, do you have 12.5?

rvin4now, with the salesman switch ON, make sure you have the same voltage on both large lugs. Since you know you have 12.5 at the house batteries, you should see the same on both lugs.

My motorhome will "mimic" this problem with the battery cut off  - cut off. There are a couple of small "keep alive circuits" for radio memories etc. that bypass the cut off. These circuits can bleed a little power onto the normal circuits which is enough to illuminate low current devices momentarily. Also some solar battery maintenance panels (the small ones) can cause this.

It sounds like to me that your main disconnect is not making connection. My coach has both a "salesman type switch" disconnect AND a manual disconnect switch near the batteries.

I would start there
