BIM Power from Ignition

2012 Sunseeker on 2011 Chevy Express chassis. BIM works when running the generator & charges coach battery, but does not charge coach battery when the vehicle going down the road. I understand there is a circuit breaker somewhere the supplies power to BIM from vehicle ignition system. Does anyone have any idea where the breaker is located?

Open your hood and check by the battery/Alt and see if there isn't a 150 amp blade type of circuit breaker there if the blade is out close it.

SeaDog,
Thanks for info. I was not clear with my question. According to Precision Circuits, Inc (BMI manufacturer) there should be a 12V signal from the ignition switch that says "engine is running & alternator charge is available" This should have a 7.5 amp fuse or breaker. That is what I'm looking for. I need to crawl under RV & trace wires. I'm not sure FR ever installed that circuit. There is no battery boost switch either. Doesn't make since since FR installed BIM & it will charge Coach battery from generator.
