House Battery T/Fourwinds 2013

[frschof]

Disconnect/Connect Switch for the house battery. I was told by RV Repair couple years ago if the switch is not making a clicking sound there is a blown fuse. I have no blown fuse checked it. Still no click sound. However the House battery is dead I need to recharge it. My question is does the switch need voltage to make the sound. i.e does the battery need to be charged?

Going to charge the battery tomorrow. Any ideas tks.

The clicking sound is the latching relay which disconnects your battery(ies) from your 12volt system.

Yes your batteries must be charged in order for that relay to work... unless you're plugged into shore power. In that case, if the battery disconnect switch is in the ON (USE) position, the converter will charge the batteries.

Just note if you frequently completely discharge lead-acid batteries, they may not hold a charge. And if you're not getting 14+ volts at the batteries when plugged to shore power, check fuses and breakers again. But remember... the disconnect switch MUST be ON.
