I have a 2000 Hurricane , by Four Winds class A motor home on a ford chassis. I'm having a problem with the starting system, which seems to be intermittent . When I turn the key to the start position it does nothing. The next time it might start as normal. I replaced the starter solenoid thinking it would solve the problem. It did for awhile but the it happened again. Has anyone else experienced this problem ? Can someone give me some insight on this ? Thanks . Al
On some American DP's, there is a secondary solenoid that's prone to failure and ours had finally quit, after having intermittent problems for quite a while. Thing is, I've since installed a backup system with a heavy duty button, next to the engine, that puts voltage directly on the starter solenoid and have been using that until we get home and will then replace the solenoid. One thing that will stay, is my back up, which actually consists of two buttons and helps to troubleshoot things, as well.
With your Ford, there is probably one of these, as well, like has already been suggested.
