Now, what I think should happen in this case is when the latching relay closes, it should stay in the on mode. Looks like I thought it would, except for the use of a solenoid instead of a latching relay!! The small circuit board and its relay supplies power to the latching relay. I have contacted Monaco to see if there is a wiring diagram for this arrangement. Based on the dates I am assuming the system has been revised/updated to correct an earlier problem.Ĭould this be the Intellitec system mentioned by desertdeals69? 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. The back side of the ckt board has the following information: KIB, BIP 101, dated 01/30/06. 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. From this 5 amp fuse there is a red lead going to a small ckt board with a mounting hole. 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. The solenoids on mine are not arranged or wired the same as shown on the Monaco drawing. 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. Thanks for all the input from everyone on this issue. I seem that I can't even follow my own drawings. The slide went out and back in with just the push of the switch. I moved the wires to match the book and guess what happened. Finaly got out the book and I was sitting on the couch looking at the book and the switch and wala, I said to myself "my switch isn't wired that way". The next time we used the coach the slide would not go out. After checking the switch putting it back together I got the slide in and we went on our way. I always draw a diagram of the wiring of any switch if there is more then two wires. When I first had the problem I pulled the switch to check it. I did have a problem with the front slides switch. I have scanned and enlarged pages before so I could follow flow to find a problem. Problem is that the print is so small it is hard to follow the wires. One thing I do have that came with my coach is a Wiring Diagram Book, it contains both 12 volt and 110 ac wiring. I have forgotten to plug it in and 4 or 5 days later I will find the batteries down. I haven't gone looking for the culprit since I keep it plugged in all the time it is in the barn. For what ever the reason, I can turn all three off and I still have a small drain on my batteries. I to have the Battery switch in the step well wall. I have two of the Battery switches in the battery compartment. NOTE! Herman, Your coach should be wired the same! Why there are 2 different wiring methods ? both accomplish the same result.į355197's coach is an Executive and one year newer. The Model LE-415 automatically shuts down when the coach is dry camping to protect the coach battery, and features a green light to show when it is active. They are fully automatic devices which are used in motorhomes to keep the chassis battery fully charged when the coach is plugged into shore power, or the AC generator is operating. Original equipment on high end Monaco motorhomes since 1995! The Model LE-315 Keep-It-Up and the Model LE-415 Super Keep-It-Up are battery maintainers. This device feeds one of the Latching Relays and could be a part of your problem. Since the LR9806 does not require constant voltage, it is one less load on the battery. It only requires a short "pulse" of voltage to activate or deactivate the relay. The LR9806 is a single-pulse latching relay. The latching relay is an effective battery disconnect device. The relay part number listed is KIB 16615055 Momentary, Location Rear Run Box. One gets a large spark if you do !!!! and the fusses are expensive and special. Is this what you see ? The switch does not need to be locked to keep the circuit active ! The lock is to prevent from inadvertently turning off the 12 volt system.ġ2 Volts should be present on 1 side of each relay, these are high current circuits with large fuses so do not short out these cables. Purple wire to center connection of the SW.#2- White wire to connection #1 There should be a Purple wire from the switch to the relay, at the switch there will be a white wire going to ground and the other end of the Purple wire. Both fuse links need to be good and both relays need to energize to get the system on line. The links are gray in color and outwardly show no sign of being open. The difference in the wiring is where the fuse link(s) is connected. These are latching relays and the switch is a momentary rocking switch that toggles them off an on.
