Might be that chassis batteries pulling down house batteries.
Did you hold the boost down while cranking?
Might also have poor hot and/or ground connections.
I was holding it down while trying to start. I didn't even have dash lights (even while holding it down). When I dropped the chassis batteries off at Autozone this morning they were only reading about 9 volts...to low to even test with a load...maybe they were sucking all the juice up. I tried to jump it with my Jeep and I got the dash lights but it wasn't enough juice to actually start it (even tried pushing the battery boost while jumping). Makes me wonder if I have something else all the sudden sucking up my power (though it would be new because we haven't really done anything new with chassis power).
Once my batteries are done being tested and new (I expect) ones installed, how can I verify that the coach batteries are connected to the chassis batteries correctly just in case this happens again?
