Strange Generator Issue
My trailer has an Onan Microquiet 4000 that has started having an intermittent problem, although it is becoming the rule more than the exception now.
When I try to start it, it will crank for maybe 1/2 a second or so and then stop. It will keep doing that if I hold the button down. Sometimes it will fire up and run perfectly, but that is becoming few and far between. I am not getting any errors lights.
The batteries are strong and I have checked and cleaned the connections. I took off the start relay and it tests out fine, with 4 ohms across the coil and there is continuity across the terminals when the coil is energized. My next thought is starter or control assembly, neither of which am I looking forward to working on. I am leaning toward the control assembly since it's not giving me any error lights. Any ideas?
