Aux Batt solenoid on PT

[truitt44@...>]

Scott,
That's a good idea. I am electrically and mechanically challenged. I had a
problem with my generator battery not charging that part I was able to diagnose.
I suspected the diode but had no idea where it was located. I was told it was up
front in the battery compartment, was under the coach up front, was near the
breaker box at the generator. I finally found it in the charger compartment in
the rear.
Turns out my problem was a blown 30 amp circuit breaker. I am also the proud
owner of a new diode and a new solenoid.
