OK Todd,
I'll go easy on you since we haven't met!!!!!!
The merge switch mystified me at first. What follows is my idea of how it works: The merge switch may be used if one set of the batts is dead. The merge switch operates the merge solenoid that connects the two battery banks together. Twelve volt current is required for the merge solenoid to function. The Batt merge switch sends 12 V to the Merge solenoid. The two energized positions on the merge switch allows either the engine batts OR the house batts to energize the merge solenoid.
I will humbly step aside if a more Knowledgeable Guru sees a flaw in my understanding!
