I assume you installed new chassis batteries. Did you switch off the main battery disconnect switch & forget to turn back on? Check the terminals & make sure the new batteries are hooked up like the old. Have you checked the new batteries to make sure they are charged? Most likely there is a big fuse or fusible link at the battery which could have blown if you touched the wrong terminals together while installing the batteries.

Good luck & let us know how you come out.

I called Monaco today and there's two inline fuses inside the Allison control module enclosure. I will be checking that out tonight.

Way to go Zanzibar. Great trouble shooting. Wasn't that a sense of accomplishment when that diesel fired up.

And Allison would have only charged you $200 to do it.
