It can’t be a self-resetting one like the pictures of red self-resetting ones here since it doesn’t self reset. Can you describe it, and better, show a picture? He has 3 sealed AGM batteries wired properly, but they may be blocking the visual line of sight on this CB.

Update: a friend of my friend with the power problem confirmed some of what I read on the forum. The red junctions of wires are self-resetting circuit breakers, not bus bars. The one I had my non-mechanical friend work on was broken internally (we think he may have torqued it too hard). A visit to the RV supply store, four bucks and a half hour later all was fixed and the new shutoff switch installed.
