Interesting. That makes sense to me, but my system has been operating fine this way for 400 hrs, and none of the devices on the main bus will energize until I turn the master on. In fact, I leave the tail strobe switch on full time to serve as a warning if I leave the master on.
I found the solenoid wiring oddity while troubleshooting a rapidly fluctuating voltage on the E-bus. It fluctuates continuously + or - 0.2 volts. My wiring is scrupulously Nuckoll's Z-11 .... with the exception of my yesterday-discovery that the main bus feed comes off the line side of the solenoid, rather than the load side.
Hmmmmm. I have to ponder this awhile.
