Today when I extended my hydraulic slide the motor started to bog down, I released the button and could not get it to start again. When I check the main cable to the solenoid there was no voltage. I reset the 150 breaker and no luck. I checked for voltage coming into the breaker and there wasn’t any. Where does this cable go from there? JC Wheelwright 2011 Monaco Camelot

I chased this problem for 3 months, it would start at home every time, but after 200 miles of driving no luck. I finally took the starter out and took it down to be checked. It checked out fine, but I was suspect of the magnetic solenoid on top of the starter. I could not find a OME replacement, so I replaced with a standard 12 volt solenoid. I also cleaned all the grounds while I had the starter out. But everything working now.

While driving in the winter with my Aqua Hot on, my chassis batteries are losing their charge. My alternator is showing 13.9 volts. The house batteries are staying up, but the chassis battery discharge. When I stop the coach and try to restart, the chassis batteries are too low to engage the starter and the Battery Boost switch will not work. I have to run the generator for about two hours to charge the chassis batteries enough to start. House and Chassis batteries charge up and test out good at home. A test of the Alternator voltage confirms the gauge 13.9 volts. If I just turn on the key, I can get the Battery Boost switch to work. Should the Big Boy Relay energize and stay energized with the engine running? Both House and Chassis batteries are showing 13 plus volts.
