What am I missing ----------------- REPAIRED, it works now.

I bought a 2002 Monaco Windsor about 2 months ago. I've been getting it set up for us.

I drove it Tuesday and didn't have any problems. In fact I've not had any problems with starting the engine. This morning I went out to crank it up. I turned the ignition on and nothing. No dash, no air brake compressor running, no power to the ignition. I checked that the slides are in, brake is set, etc. I hit the auxiliary start and still nothing. I checked the battery and I have ground from the battery to the cable and I'm about to go out and check to see if I have ground to the frame. I don't know where any of the engine fuses are so I don't know where to look. I've got fuses in a LOT of bays, etc.

Any suggestions.

    If it does, I haven't found it yet. Were is yours located?


    mine is right next to the coach battery disconnect switch in the step well. I've accidentally clicked the chassis switch off a couple of times without realizing it until I tried to start the engine. just a thought.

    What did you leave on that ran down the engine batteries? Try holding the boost switch down for several minutes to see if you get some life in the gauges. If so try starting the generator so it will charge the batteries... after 15 minutes you may be able to start the engine.
