generator weirdness

Ernie, M.R., Tom, Don and others,

Thanks again. The pictures from M.R. were a "great" help and looks
just like my setup. Here is the latest update: According to the
layout M.R. posted, I have about 13.6 volts at the diode and circuit
breaker without charger and over 14 volts when the charger is on.
However, that never makes it to the gen battery unless I push the
aux switch. At that time the gen voltage jumps to over 14. The relay
for the aux switch is on a vertical wall just to the rear of the
front step. But, I cannot see a diode or circuit breaker anywhere
near it. I am not sure what to do next. I will check our site off
and on through the day. Rain is coming tonight for the next few
days, but I should have several hours today. And to Tom, my direct
reply to your address came back - not sure why. Thanks again to
everyone.

Dave
