Default EMERG START/ BOOST RELAY 99ClassC Conquest

Recently tried to CHARGE my (10yo FAILING) chassis battery thru the EMERG START switch & SOLENOID, but NO increase in dash voltage (shoreline plugged in), solenoid "clunking" under step, so went to verify/ inspect and broke 25a breaker terminal trying to disconnect; Ordered new 25a Breaker and 300a "continuous duty" solenoid (Amazon). Based on limited wiring diagrams including ca. 1996 that only show one, and BOOST as momentary at driver's reach, I was not 100% sure what I was hearing was the correct solenoid location, but it was. So, lots of pictures, not too bad a job, just have to label// verify and tighten/ verify before power=ON, but all worked well and thought I might share a few PICS and thoughts about the wiring diagrams. Now, w/ new solenoid and new chassis battery, get 13.7vdc at dash receptacle when EMERG START rocker switch is ON. TIP: So to others that recently asked if it should work, because yours does NOT, YOU TOO may need solenoid replaced.
