Hey guys - this has me and my mechanic stumped.
Symptom:
2 days of dry camping (all levels have been fine, running the generator for an hour a day).
3rd day go to start the RV and nothing. Check the crank battery it is low. House batteries are full.
Throw a charge on the battery but only gets to 8 amps.
Purchase a replacement 1000ca hook it up - same thing. No crazy lights on the on position, no headlights, the engine fan runs on an override switch and the brake controller for towing is lit up.
Diagnostic
Traced Power from the crank battery (and house batteries) all the way to the front main electrical poles. Power from that to what I think is the starter. After that, nothing.
Could this all be just a bad starter? Or what else should I check and what am I looking to test on the starter?
Thanks all.
