My wife and I have been RVíng since 1995. Most of our traveling has been attending Nascar races. We're currently on our 5th Winnebago class A motorhome, a 2011 Meridian V class (340 Cummins on Freightliner chassis). Number 5 is our first experience with a diesel. Been trying to troubleshoot a recent electrical issue. Turn ignition key to on, here a couple solenoids energize but nothing lights up on dash or transmission indicator, so I can't start the engine. Several things occasionally work to get dash and transmission indicator to both light up such as turning on the headlight switch or holding the battery boost switch down and then cycling the ignition key switch between Off, Acc, and On. Tried swapping chassis and coach batteries but no change. If anyone has any helpful recommendations, I'm all ears.

Remove, clean, and reattach the ground strap from the batteries or the chassis that goes to the engine block. Might be two of them. Usually that sort of issue is just a poor ground to the engine block.
