SargeW said:If you are referring to the "momentary" switch on the dash, then the answer is yes, according to a post on another forum that claimed the info was from Winnebago. However, Winnie started installing a Trick-L-Start on coaches starting in 2006. Have you checked your 12V breaker box to see if one is there?
It also depends how dead the battery is. The momentary switch is intended to boost a battery that is just a little too low to turn over your motor. If the battery is really dead, like 9 volts or so, then you won't get your battery charger to charge the battery no matter what.
I have read where some folks have stuck a match stick under the momentary switch to provide power to both sets of batteries. I have not had the need, so I have not had to test the theory.

My MOM switch has never worked, at least the few times I really needed it to work. When I push the switch, I do hear a 'click'. How can I check it out and what likely needs to be replaced? I always need to carry a battery jump-start when I go over to storage, just in case...
Thanks-
