Oh Lord, this weekend was one of the most frustrating, BUT...it's done.
What did I do to my Class C today? I thanked it for doing what it did, when and where it did it.
What happened?
Everything is ready-I went to start it to take it from my shop to my house to get it ready for the long haul this week.
crank, crank.....crank......crank.... Hmmmm....no start.
it's been running fine, and starting every time for 2 months.
try it again.....still, nothing.
I check for spark. None.
Closer inspection shows me the two wiring harnesses that connect to the ignition module are completely corroded, exposed wires, very bad.
seems at some point in the RV's life, it had a master cylinder replaced. There was brake fluid rot all underneath it, and this factory harness with two pig-tails sits right there.
I removed the ignition module, and by-passed the two pig-tail connections to the module. I butt-spliced the harness to the module, and it fired right up.
Again, I thank my lucky stars it happened then, and not 250 miles down the road at a gas station.
