thanks for the clarification. although I don't believe the wiring at the harness is wrong. I'm thinking the problem is on the other end. The wires at the harness appear to be the "original" wiring and the harness only fits one way connecting to the igniton switch. will take a closer look today...

hello, trying to get this 82 chevy p30 chassis going. bear with me, not sure of the terminology. regarding the ignition (key) switch, all the way to the left is "off", one click to the right is "on", one further click is "start", then you can turn the key further to the right and it will spring...

well, previous to lou's post, I did jump a couple of those connectors. What do ya know, the starter started cranking!! The motor didn't start, not really expecting it to right away. Its been sitting for years. I assume the gas in it is bad.  Any suggestions for getting  a motor, that's been...

Starter wise, the first thing I did was pull the starter. hoping agains hope it was a simple starter replacement, no go. Grounded the starter and hooked up the main power and jumped to the smaller wire and the starter worked. When I turn the key, I have no power to the smaller bolt/wire on the...

well, round two on getting this thing going. 1983 Itasca Spectrum on 1982 Chevy P30 Chassis. Not getting any power to the starter solenoid. So Im thinking check the ignition switch or neutral safety switch. This is a dash mounted shifter, I don't see anything like a NSS under the dash. Follow...

hi guys, thanks for all the replies and suggestions. Still no go. As of now, I pulled the starter. Jumped the solenoid and the starter spins. So...Im thinking either starter solenoid or something between the starter and the ignition switch  ;D that narrows it down. haha. Here's another thing...

hey lou, thanks for the reply. all connections to the battery are solid. when I turn on cabin lights and turn key over, they do not dim. Some new info I just found out, I thought the last time the vehicle was used was two years ago. turns out, it hasn't been started in 6 years!! :o  could this...

hi all, 83 Itasca Spectrum on a Chevy-van P30 chassis. Before I start tearing into this thing I have some questions. An overhead guage shows I have enough juice in two new batteries.  When I turn the key over I see only the brake warning light come on. (low on brake fluid) I don't see any...

thanks for the replys guys. the winn section looks to be a great resource for me. a spectrum IS a Winn.  ;) IC823DH.  who would've thunk it. I am a greenhorn! regarding the chassis I punched in my VIN number and received: an 82 Chevy P-Series Van 8Cylinder 5.7/350 CID. I need to replace these...

hello all just received a 1983 Itasca Spectrum. I know NOTHING about RVs or any of their systems so this may be the first of many questions.  :o Attatched to the motor framework, passenger side, is a bank of circuit breakers attatched to a solonoid. There are 2-6Amp (stamped 292)  1-20Amp...
