I have a 2001 Itasca with a Onan 5500 Marquis Gold generator. System was working great while camping. Got home and now it will not start. Gives a code of 3-2. Have replaced fuel filter at carb., oil and spark plugs.
Any help with this would be appreciated

If your light flashes 3 times pauses and flashes 2 times,the manual says Low Cranking Speed Fault.If the battery is fully charged and the genset cranks ok then it probably your controller,or about $350.00 bucks.

Look on the files section of the site, I uploaded the service manual for the Onan genset- troubleshooting guide inside.

What is your fuel level? My GenSet cuts off at just below 1/4 tank. It will start but will not stay on.

I had the same code on my old MH genset and it turned out that a mouse had crawled in and chewed through some wires. Dealer had to take the genset out of the coach to diagnose and repair.
