Generator Fire extinguisher wiring
#1

[attachment=7275]Hello gurus! I could use some help with the fire extinguisher shutdown circuit for the generator. 

Yesterday I discovered that the circuit on my coach is apparently wired in series with the "pull in" coil and not the "hold in" coil.

If I disconnect the FE circuit to simulate an empty canister while the genny is running, it keeps running. If I shut the genny down and try to restart it with the FE circuit unplugged, the pull in coil does nothing and obviously the genny will not start. If I plug the FE circuit back in, all is well again. The pull in coil does its thing, and the genny purrs right along.

My hang up is with the wiring. One side of the FE circuit comes out of the 4 prong plug and connects with the black ground wire to the pull in/hold in solenoid. The other side of the circuit connects to a white wire that disappears into the wiring harness. The red and white leads coming from the pull in hold in solenoid are also connected to separate white wires which also disappear into the harness. Without being able I track these white wires I am unsure how to rewire the system.

Any help on how to proceed would be much appreciated.
