I left out my panel, fuel pump and solenoid. Heres a rough schematic of my system. I've been testing things this morning and once again noticed that the voltage drops to basically zero once I complete the "s" and hot wire circuit from the switch. The voltage is there... it's going somewhere.. just not into the solenoid.
One other thing to note, while testing my isolator(engine off) I notice around 8 volts at the input terminal coming from the ammeter/alternator... seems strange it would have any power when the alternators off..
