I have a similar issue so forgive me for hijacking but I thought it'd be best to include it here.
Onan 4000 in a '93 Fleetwood Moho
I ran my genny and turned the air on and let it go for 30 minutes or so a week ago. All was good.
We took a trip to the desert this weekend and when I went to start the genny it ran for a couple minutes and then died. I tried restarting with the dash switch and it would not start but did turn over. I guess it was actually running when I held the switch.
I went outside and pushed the start button on the unit itself and it started. I went inside and waited a bit and power never came on. I checked at the inside switch and the hour meter was not turning and I could not shut it down from inside.
I checked and cycled the CB on the unit, checked the breakers inside and checked the obvious ground connections. This seems a little different as the OP was able to start his with the remote button.
Thoughts?
