Thanks Tom.
Since my last post I noticed the voltage on the coach batteries were at 12 according to the dash meter. Just this am it was much higher as I have the batteries merged to be charged from the solar panels. I also noticed at the same time my merge relay switch made no difference so either the switch went bad or the solenoid went bad. Odd that this is happening now. perhaps somehow connected. The ignition is off although the sound does remind me of a vacuum thingy I played with in my earlier years on older vehicles. But I would like to think that especially if it needs 12 volt by ignition that, that is not the problem.
Will ponder on this this evening then go at it again sometime tomorrow. We are in the process of winding down here at Senator Wash and preparing to head north on our Alaska trip sometime early April. The coach will go into storage in Yuma.
