The light will be on with no shore power if the batteries are connected.
The light will be on with shore power if the batteries are disconnected due to the converter powering the DC buss.

Thor coaches with a light indicator are wired the same way.
If you have not broke out a voltmeter you are not measuring voltage anywhere.

Perform the experiment I posted above before continuing to argue about how these coaches and latching relays (it's not really a switch) are wired.
It will take me some time to purposely drain the chassis batteries, but I can do that. I can also believe you. I think the functional summary of what you are telling me is that in my coach it is possible to have shore power connected, but the charger not charging the chassis batteries?

If so; I can believe, but because I have yet to see my batteries drain down; I didn't know that? In fact, when shore power is connected, I have yet to be able to disconnect any of the vDC functions regardless of the position of switch you are telling me is reading the voltage on the buss to light up green?

New Info:
Until I can get a chance to drain batteries, below is something I can add that I noticed. I have Digital LED Readout in 12vDC socket in Cabin, it runs off the Chassis batteries. It is reading 12.2 vDC with shore disconnected, When I turn on the shore power the Digital LED Readout in 12vDC socket goes to 14.2.

If I press the off button to attempt to turn off nothing happens?
