Onan 8000 Desiel Generator

Question

I have to use the aux switch to start the generator,as long as i hold the aux battery switch in the genny runs.As soon as I let the switch go the generator stops. What im thinking is the rocker switch to start it could be bad putting a ground on the genny positive.Also if i jumper it with my car and leave the jumpers connected it runs fine,pull the jumpers off it stops.All batteries are charged and clean.The positive cable going to the generator is grounded i pull it off and checked it with a ohm meter and it is showing zero resistance

Thanks
Greg

A house batt cable is loose or not getting good connection I had the same thing once

If it's like our Phaeton (and it sounds like it is since it only runs when you hold the AUX start switch down), your genny is hooked up to start / run from your chassis batteries (not the house batts).

Verify that your chassis battery disconnect is not turned to off and if it isn't, there appears to be a problem with the batteries or the connection to the batteries.

Also i now have the rv plugged in and every thing is dead inside the batteries are fully charged so now i have more problems then i Thought.
Am i missing something like a fuse its almost like there is no connection from the batteries,Also the store switch used to work and the ligt on it is very dim
