Discovery won't start
Thanks to those who replied. Some background, The rig has a push button start. We were plugged into shore power and the LXE has a solar panel for trickle charging. For whatever reason, the voltage on the chassis batteries dipped below 12 volts. I'm not sure why. The only thing I can think of is that the temperature dipped below freezing over the night, and we had two cloudy days in a row. Fortunately, I was eventually able to get in touch with Freightliner tech support. The problem seems to be that if the chassis voltage drops, the key fob loses a connection with the ignition electronics. Believe it or not, the solution was to simply hold the key fob up against the start button, and push the start button. What a weird problem, with such a simple solution.
