I found two fuses 70 and 5 labeled ignition and both look fine.
My coach is a 1999 American Tradition. I'm new to motorcoach btw, approximately two or three weeks in.
At the campgrounds I noticed the chassis batteries were not charging (in fact I lost charge) and had to fire it up with the Aux charge.
I parked it next to our house and added a battery tender to charge the two batteries. Two chassis batteries in serial. I wasn't sure how to charge it so I just used one battery. Next day it read full. I then proceeded to move the negative cable from that one battery to the other battery (so negative on one battery, positve on second battery since they are serialed); which was something I saw on solar charging. I figured this was the same pattern I needed to do
Anyhow, long story short. I had been messing around with two switches that turn off chassis and coach batteries so that they don't drain when not in use. Today i turned on the house batteries and fired up the inverter and everything worked as expected. I proceeded to try to turn on the generator and nothing. No clicking or anything. I tried to turn on the coach from the ignition inside and it lights up and I can see the gauges go up and down but when I try to crank, nothing happens. I found a 70 amp labeled ignition and another 5 amp also labeled ignition and both look good.
Any ideas? I'm thinking there must be a breaker somewhere. I'll keep looking but curious if anybody could throw me a bone and tell me what else to look for.
Thanks in advance!!!!
