I just wanted to thank all of the good folks who wrote to me or
called me offering suggestions as to the problem(s) with the ol'
beast.

Last night I put an extra battery charger on the generator battery
and not only did that start charging up but the interior lights came
on, etc., etc. So it appears that both sets of batteries are,
indeed, wired together and that they were all dead.

The obvious conclusion is that the factory battery chargers are dead
as well so we'll be looking into replacing them.

I am wondering if whatever solenoid or relay that temporarily
connects the two battery sets when you push the dash switch has
stuck. Does anyone know offhand where this is located and what sort
of device (solenoid or relay?) that I should be lookin' for?

Thanks!
