I think I have narrowed this problem down to a faulty aux contactor solenoid on the shore power contactor which is what controls the generator. Now I have a question about what purpose they serve? My understanding was they keep the shore and generator power separated, but isn't that what the manual switch above the driver does? The solenoids engage sending power to the other coil terminal magnet which make it contact only after you flip the switch. So is there any reason why they couldn't be bypassed altogether?
