Gauges went crazy after dead battery - HELP!
Had my 2005 Motorhome E-450 V10 parked for about 2 months. Went to start it today and battery was dead. Battery is dated 6/14. Charged battery with 6amp charger for 4 hours. Started with no problem...

1. check for any damage from rodents
2. charge the battery to full
3. start the engine and press the gas pedal just a bit this will engage the voltage regulator to start working
4. drive the RV at least a half an hour, this will give the computer enough time to regain all of the parameters that it needs to run the engine transmission and the dash gauges.
What happened is that the computer memory used the available voltage to maintain the memory, at a given low voltage the memory goes blank, and you basically reprogram it by driving, normal with the new computer controlled vehicles.
