I have the blue sea all hooked up and everything seems to work fine except for I cannot start the engine with the ignition switch. When I turn the ignition switch on I get my warning beepers and everything seems to work except for the wait to start light does not come on like it use to.
When I move it to the start position I can hear the front solenoid engage but it does not send power back to the starter solenoid in the back engine compartment.
I can jump across the relay in the engine compartment and engine will fire up and run but will immediately die. This is due to the fuel solenoid not having power to it when the starter is not engaged.
I'm still checking fuses and such but I have not found anything as of yet.

Here is wiring schematic

CrownRoyale · 05-08-2021, 03:16 PM

So after spending all day tracing wires looking at schematics and generally wondering [mod edit]...
I happened upon the rear engine switch and discovered with the key switch on that I could start the engine with the rear switch. I realize now that the switch is a three position switch... Down is for rear control middle is for engine stop and up is for cockpit control... So now I have everything fixed and it works perfect!! Now for my first big road trip!!
Thanks for all the help.

You won't be the first or last owner the rear switch befuddled for a while.
Did you use the bundle of spare wires at drivers side rear to center console area. I'm glad you found issue .
Killed two " birds" with one stone you needed a 200A isolator and a big boy relay the bluesea was probably cheaper. Low power draw from latching relay and lifetime warrantee. Someone asked about Bluesea about warranty "restrictions ect. " they were confused , like don't worry if it ever messes up we just give you a new one. It's on my very short list now. I just put new LED rear tail lights wow are they bright. $192.50 for 8 with IL. tax & shipped. I have seen these listed for up to $50 ea. So they were on my list as the PO had brake lights sick and deformed the bases so the get filthy inside. Just spotted these a couple months ago ,they can get as many as you need if quantity is less than needed.

Put all new side markers last fall Peterson reproduced retired Bargmans on ours.

If you get a chance could you take a pic of weatherstrip on your basement doors. POs put D shaped weatherstrip it seems too short . The bottom strip is much taller.

Thanks!
I was looking into tail lights as well. PO put led (1157?) Bulbs in, but the outside lens is warped a bit and needs replaced.
I also have to tackle putting rear rotors and pads on before the end of the month. Have had all the parts setting here since last December but with all my other projects did no have time to work on my coach.

I can't remember if this is the place I got bulk packed side markers but came with gaskets, sockets and bulbs. The more expensive one is in shelf hanging blister pack. Many of mine had cracked in half and were filthy inside.
