  • Can’t start engine from inside coach????

    Posted by Tony on July 28, 2012 at 8:31 pm



    Long and short is that the engine will not start by key. I can start by remote at engine but not from inside the coach. When I turn the key on everything seems to power up and all indicator lights come up as they should, but will not engage starter. I have checked all of the obvious breakers but am missing it somewhere. Any guidance is appreciated.

    Tony,

    I don’t have the electrical diagrams from my previous coach so I am going by memory. If I am recalling correctly if everything else is engaging when you turn on the key except the starter (key in the start position) I am thinking the key switch might be bad. The fact you can rear start means the start circuit components are OK, such as the start relay in the rear box.

    I’m fuzzy on the role played by the rear selector (front, off, rear) but I think the fact with your key in the run position everything else is OK the only glitch I can think of is the “start” switch at the key. Can you lift that lower panel out and check it with an ohm meter or jump it to verify?

    Found the culprit. Bad 24v relay in the engine bay compartment. Up and running again.

    Which 24v relay was it Tony? Where is it located exactly?

    Thanks
