No Lights on Dashboard
Planned to go for maintenance today, and was getting the MH ready yesterday. Tried to start it, worked fine three weeks ago, and wouldn't start. Shortly thereafter, I had no lights at all on the dash. Called Coach Net and they sent a tow truck. Being in a campground with no power up front, my jacks were down and driver left shortly thereafter. We thought batteries were fine, but a boost was suggested. No luck, but dash was flickering, never on very long. Called local business and they wanted $500 plus labour and parts to come 10 minutes away. This morning I left a message at Gulfstream class A section, but have not heard back from them. A buddy was looking under the coach to figure out how to manually lift the electric jacks, when he noticed the ground wire from the battery was loose. As he wiggled it a bit, the bolt broke off. I told him I read a note on this site about checking the ground wire, and we agreed this could be our solution. Cleaned and connected a new bolt and first try, engine started and jacks came up. Let it run for a while and put jacks back down and restarted the coach. All seems perfect now, but what a frustrating two days.
