I have a 1998 Winnebago with a 4000 watt Onan generator.Generator won't turnover from inside motor home. Starts fine using switch on the generator. Once started, the inside off switch works fine. Anyone have any advice about where to start?Thanks,Dave

When mine did that I pulled the connection wires on generator cleaned them and reinstalled problem solved.

I'd start with an electrical schematic and a VOM. Might be a terminal pulled off of the switch. Could be a relay, you are just going to have to trace out the system and find where you lose power.

It worked fine last week, so hopefully is is a loose connection. I'll give it a try. Thanks all!

Loose connector going to remote panelBlown fuse on remote control system in genset

Where is the remote control fuse etc on the generator? I saw 1 fuse and 1 breaker. Both looked fine,
