Not talking about the BIRD/Trombetta here - but rather the Battery Disconnect... A bird of a different feather

... The power should run from the battery to the circuit breaker to the use/store switch to the panel. You seem to have a break in that line somewhere...

Power is going to run from the battery to the circuit breaker to the Intellitec Solenoid - which has wiring to/from the the use/store switch - then to the panel... The use/store switch never sees the LOAD from the RV - it just provides momentary voltage to activate the Solenoid to connect/disconnect...
Here's a description of how it works...

The battery side of the Solenoid is the input... and the converter (labeled converter/coach in the first pic I posted) is the output... The break is AT the solenoid...
Should be able to read voltage across the two terminals going to the use/store switch from the Solenoid while depressing the switch... Should read voltage when energizing either the use or store side of switch - and 0 when switch is not depressed. Polarity will be reversed for use vs store. If that checks out - then sounds like the Solenoid is the culprit...
