My last trip was Feb 20, 2010. Yesterday went out to stretch the RV legs but got no power to to the starter or anything else. NOTHING. Used the power boost and it started right away but the red engine light stayed on for the 30 or so seconds I left it running. Put the battery tender to the engine battery and left it until today. Went out today and it started right away without the boost but I had no tach, warning lights, buzzers, bells, LCD odometer or anything. I'm about to remove the battery terminals, clean and reinstall but thought I would ask if anyone had a suggestion on what to try if this fails.

Thanks

RottenRalph, Check Fuse INST-IGN on your internal fuse block.

Fixed. Removed battery cables, cleaned (they were not corroded), lubed and replace. Now have all bells and whistles, including the ABS light that didn't go off while at idle. I'll consult Oemys web site on that.

Thanks

RottenRalph, Now there's a classic example of starting at the lowest common denominator.

Sounds to me that you let the rig set for 2 months and the starter battery went and died. That is common. When you got it started, it recharged up to the point that it now starts on its own.
