The way the Vegas/Axis is wired, the 12v goes from the engine alternator to the 100 amp breaker in the engine compartment, then to the battery and then to the solenoid (Trombetta/BIM/BCC) and then to the 50/100 amp breaker in the battery box. From here it goes to coach batteries and the UsE/store switch and to the coach. So, if the 100 amp breaker in the engine compartment is open, no power will flow to the engine battery or the solenoid. If power gets to the solenoid, but it does not close, no 12v power will get to the coach batteries. If the 12v from the engine alternator gets past the solenoid and the 100 amp breaker in the battery box is open, the 12v power will not get to the coach batteries or the coach. If that breaker is closed but the Use/store in open, 12v power from the alternator will not flow to the coach batteries or the alternator.
From the shore power or generator side, the 12v power goes to the transfer switch and then to the converter charger which goes to the coach. So you have 12v power. If the use/store switch is in store, the 12v will not flow to the coach batteries or back to the solenoid. If the 12 v power makes it past the use/store but the 100 amp breaker is open, the power will not flow to the coach batteries to charge them or on to the engine batteries. That is why you have 12v power while plugged in or on generator. It is provided thru the transfer switch and converter/charger.
