Well.... I need to go back to well for some advice. The boys have been playing soccer all spring, haven't had any chance to go to the track, or reason to fire up the RV. We had no problems on our trip to Florida over Christmas, now however. She son't start.
Just threw a new battery in it... old one 'was' fairly tired last fall... Buuuuuut. That solved nothing.
Open door, lights come on, blower fan would work, etc.
Pump the gas, turn the key, everything goes dark, no crank.
If it sits for a few minutes, sometimes more. When I open the door, lights will come back on.
not sure what that sounds like... regulator and ignition module are both fairly new... although... I seem to go through and ignition almost annually... Doesn't sound like a the Ballast resister.
So... anyone have any thoughts? I might go out and try the original ignition module... it ain't pretty... tends to be a little finicky when it gets warm, but has yet to fail me.
