2015 Itasca Meridian with an RV QD 8000 Onan generator
Last week while in Louisiana the generator started right up and ran with no problem. On the way home I tried to start the generator and all I got was a rapid flashing red light on all three starting point and a clicking sound at the generator just like you would hear on a car with a dead/low battery.
This week I replaced both original coach batteries because they tested at 12.2 volts (which I thought was a little low).
I also replaced all six original house batteries - 5 tested at 12.2ish and 1 tested at 10.7, they now all test at 14.7
I checked the generator oil and antifreeze levels - both are good.
I checked all three in-line fuses that are under the cover that is on the drivers side near the top of the generator - all three fuses are good.
Still no joy - I push the generator start button and I get a rapid flashing light with the clicking sound like its not getting enough power, it doesn't even try to turn over. I push the start button down to preheat and get the same fast flashing light with the clicking sound.
What suggestions can you give for me to check/do?
