Tiffin 42 QBH dash lights dead won't start

[mollies33]

I run my 2010 42'Tiffin QBH every few weeks off season when not in use. Never had a problem until this morning. Turned key no dash lights nada, engine won't start. All coach and engine batteries good. Checked all fuses. No relay click when key turned to ignition position. Any ideas?

Look under the dash to see if the ignition wiring harness is loose from the ignition switch. The symptom you have happened to me and that was the answer.

Regards.

Dead Battery!

A couple of things:

Batteries can test fine voltage wise, but fail when load tested. If the voltage is good and you still have a no start situation, then pull the batteries and have them load tested. Do you know the last time the batteries were replaced? Did you try the booster switch?

You are better off not starting your engine unless you plan to take it out on 30-60 min drive and thoroughly warm it up. Idling a diesel engine will a) not warm it up; b) cause unnecessary engine wear, c) wreak havoc on the pollution control system.

Did you check the battery disconnect switch? Does it have power on both sides of the switch?

Going through exactly the same thing, but on the verge of a solution 2 weeks into the problem! Here's my thread:
