Re: Dead in the water, what to check?
Ok I messed with it today. There are three solenoids next to the battery, two have fuses on top and one looks like a standard ford starter solenoid. I'm certain the other two are really relays. Now that I have the new battery in there, the left relay "pops" when I hit the battery kill switch in the doorway. It's a temporary rocker switch though, I expected it to be an off/on switch. I could not find another kill switch in the battery bay. The ground to the chassis is good, put a meter on it and got good continuity. The red wire did not show continuity so I removed it and found that it was torn open exposing the copper wire. I figured I had it solved do got a replacement. Still no luck. I can't find any fusable link unless it's inside the wire loom. I didn't crack the loom open. Where can I find a wiring schematic so I will know what the bundle of colored wires in the loom are for? Each of them go to a post on one of the solenoids. I cleaned all the connections. Any other ideas? Thanks for all the help guys.324Views0likes0CommentsDead in the water, what to check?
I have a 1996 Coachman Santara. It has been sitting idle for just over a year. I went out to crank it this weekend and it is dead, nothing. All the batteries were dead so I put a good one in place of the engine battery but still nothing. If I put the key in and turn it, I get no lights or anything. If I try to turn on the headlights I get nothing. Are there some simple things to check that could be causing it? I don't really know anything about them, a friend is giving it to me. He said it worked fine when it was parked. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.2.8KViews0likes11Comments
