Warm ground wire at batteries, no start Gen.
Hi everybody,
yesterday evening I tried starting up my generac 6kw generator and it wouldn't fire up.
my 95gulfstream class a was running and both chassis and house battey switches were on. Each time I attempted to turn the genset on, my headlights and house lights would dim significantly.
I made sure the AC and fridge were off to reduce the load on the genset and checked all breakers and fuses.
I decided to check voltage on my two group 27 house batteries and it read at 12.86 volts. But I noticed the black ground cable connecting the coach to my battery bank was warm/borderline hot. My red cable was cold to touch.
since it was dark and late, I disconnected my battery bank and shut the coach down for the night.
anyone have any ideas or suggestions for me to go from here?
the two issues may not be related but I figured I'd ask folks smarter than me what my next steps should be.
thanks all.
