Oh! But the diagram has both batteries wired up incl from Td to B2. I’ll give that a shot though tonight, should be easy.

You'll be fine. You can attach "B2" to your hot wire side from the starter battery. In the menu selecting "B2" you can see what the current voltage is.

Not sure if I got you crossed up though, I don’t have a starter battery. It’s 2 6v in series.

Tomorrow I have a shorter RJ12 coming and maybe that can rule out the factory rj12 being bad.

Yeah that’s definitely different than what I had, I was going off the second diagram that I had posted initially. Looks like I will be redoing some stuff this evening.

There is different wiring diagrams that they show for other configurations. I think that is where you went astray. Even though you have two batteries each being 6 volt, look at it as one 12 volt battery with a jumper wire, negative to positive between them. Like a two "d" cell batteries stacked in a flashlight.
