Old Timer w/ No Memory needs help starting '85 VogueCoach

Have a Vogue '85 elite that I let set for a year. I now can't remember how to start it. The battery was dead and so I replaced it, but it still won't start like there is some switch or code I have forgotten to turn on. There is a keypad and I have a code written down but don't ever remember having to use it before. It doesn't seem to help me now anyway.

Can someone, especially with a Vogue, help me remember how to start this coach.

My older rig has a chassis battery switch located in the battery compartment.

It sounds like you have such a switch somewhere that is turned off.

Or.....the new battery connections are loose or incorrect?

Does your coach have a 'salesmans' switch to disconnect all power? Most do, and perhaps it is switched off. If your coach has such a switch and it is in the off position, nothing would activate until you switch it on.

Perhaps the coach batery is replaced instead of the truck chassis battery?
Good Luck!

Everything is dead. Just like you would expect when you let the battery totally die. I drove it to where it is now a year ago and all was fine. Now nothing works. Put in new battery yesterday, and still nothing like something is turned off somewhere. I don't remember doing anything but exiting the coach when I parked it last year. I have no memory as to what is different or what extra thing I needed to do to make it start. That is why I am selling it, I just have no memory of how things work any longer.

If no one here has the answer there is a FaceBook page for Vogue enthusiasts where you could also post:

Not sure how active it is.

Cool coaches, though!
