Correct. It makes sense that if there is a connection to the DC side that it would have some type of breaker, or even that it was led to the DC fuse panel. I'm gonna have to look. That could be it. Maybe it's wired with no breaker or fuse and you have to populate it with the size of your system. Just speculating, here.
Jayco Solar Ready Wiring Question - What do these wires go to? - Picture!
- Thread starter zipsonic
- Start date
There was nothing about the roof in the original post. That's why I suggested it might be a side wall port.
Jayco customer service was no help:
"Those are the wires that go to the charge controller."
Yes, but which go to what?
"Oh, you're gonna have to send a picture so we know what you're talking about."
Seriously? No one can tell me what wires you provide to that junction?
So off to solve it myself.
Toned the lines. No signals under the bed. Went back to the bay and just started touching every black wire with the probe. Found the red taped lead:
It was attached to a 40 Amp fuse that still needs to be jumpered to the battery. But there is no nut, so I gotta figure out the size and get one.
The Negative red tape (white wire) lead was wired directly to the battery but didn't have the red tape on that side of the wire.
At the moment, I can't find the other set. I have no idea where they are going. I tried running the probe around the walls where the info panels are to see if they were running there (sometimes you can get a faint signal if it's near the line. No joy.
I'll update more if Jayco gets back to me.
This really is a dead-simple installation if you're lucky enough to have one with the built-in wiring. But damn if they are gonna tell you anything about it.

I suspect you only get the instructions if you buy the kit. You could tell them you have the kit but no instructions. The problem then is you have to tell them WHICH kit you have.
Zipsonic......I am in the exact same boat as you, brand new 2021 Jayco Alante......and in my bag of manuals there was a sticker that says "ready for solar" are installed here...or something like that".....but it was in the bag....I called Jayco, they sent me the schematics for the entire RV and there's a couple references to 'solar' on the schematics but nothing concrete....I had my RV at an authorized dealer for "Go Power Wired for Solar" today and the technician walked around inside the coach looking for the sticker.....I said it's in the bag in the cabinet......any progress you make PLEASE post.....If you'd like a copy of the schematics they sent, let me know and I can private message them to you.....though they don't look all that helpful......best of luck ...keep on updating this thread......
Zipsonic.....attached is the schematic that references the solar points in the coach. Hope this helps....
According to that schematic, the black/white pair go to the chassis battery. The red taped pair is for the house battery and the third pair leads to the roof. This is so you can use a SCC to charge both house and chassis batteries.
