Ok - We were able to start it with the bypass battery switch and now have four lights and full operation of the transmission. But we still cannot start it off the ignition switch. Ideas?

Thank you to everyone who is supporting us on this problem

Re: Replaced Chassis Batteries and now won't start

Post by Sue Sadler »

'Attachments : The fix was finding out that the wires had a marking on them. Ours were very dirty and not until I received a post with this tip and which marked wires went pos vs neg did it start. Crazy to see 4 white wires and two were pos and 2 were neg 
Here was the fix:  THANKS TAYLOR!!
For orientation, my battery slides out the last bay of the passenger side. As I face the passenger side of the coach and the slid out battery rack, the first four batteries are my coach batteries.  (The VIM fuse and relay module is not seen laid atop the coach batteries, a bad practice not to copy). 
The last row two (rear most) batteries are the chassis batteries, also wired in parallel.  The small wires of interest I have landed on the outermost battery for convenience.  On my positive terminal is a red wire with an in line fuse, and a white wire that is embossed with: “ #1 BATT POWER  S2-D”. [img]cid:1uHhsegh4QYkMyc96hrd[/img]
On my negative terminal is a white wire embossed “S1-C”, and another white wire embossed “GHD-VIM-GHD”.[img]cid:x1mAJY37ZaehNBfBBf1h[/img]
The white wire on my positive labeled “ #1 BATT POWER (S2-D)” could be from the solar charger, I am not certain presently (that  squirrel has to wait it’s turn on line).[img]cid:3vaRd91gkfXI6MRKZqQJ[/img]
I hope when you peel back the black plastic wire loam on your three white wires  you can find the labeling as printed on the wires.  Actually the marking of wires in our coaches is quite good.  (The black Brother stick on labels are mine own). Any more questions, please ask.. v/r,
