David, Yes those were the ones I followed, to a tee. Upon further investigation here is what I have.

One 10ga or so red wire from aux battery.

One red wire in sheath that comes from front of van...always hot.

One blue wire that is dead whether motor running or not.

I sus pect that this blue wire is the culprit, but I loaned my Bently and Haynes to a friend, and cannot view wiring diagrams at present. Where does the blue wire go from under the drivers seat? It must be broken or pulled loose along its travel.

The blue wire should come on when the alternator is charging, correct? When it sends a current, it flips the relay, and thus charges the battery, correct?
