Won't start?
My 2005 Dynasty is sitting in an RV park in Gettysburg we are ready to go and it won't start. The chassis battery's are good, jumped to good house battery's no start, all baggage door switches are good, I unplugged them to see if that was it, parking brake is on, in all fuses are ok, I am thinking the neutral safety switch, anyone have any ideas or know of a good mobile tech in the area?, thanks Ron

The RV park should have a recommendation for one.
Call your ERS?
Do a google search?
Jacks all the way up?

Checking with the park now ERS will be next, this happened once before but is was a baggage door switch and I just tested all of them, I know it has to be in N and parking brake set, I am just covering the basics first

I had a similar issue once and it turned out to be the small starter solenoid wire on the starter. I just crawled under and loosed, cleaned with emory cloth, re-tightened. She started right up no issues since!!!

Ron, which fuses did you check? The main ones that will stop it from cranking are located in the Rear Run Box in the engine compartment. Also in the RRB is a switch that allows you to start the motor from the engine compartment. Turn your key to on then go and switch the rocker switch in the RRB the rear and hit the start switch next to it and see what happens

Did you do anything in the engine compartment?
I hit that switch once changing a bulb.

Thanks for all the help, 3 days ago I had a fuse that was bad, not related to this, I was in the engine compartment box, thanks to Mike a really big thanks, when I read his reply the light went off, sure enough I had bumped the front-off-rear switch, put it on rear, pushed the rocker start switch with the ignition switch on and it started, put switch on front went in and restarted it as it always did, contacted the Tech who was on his way out and canceled that made our destination as planned

I have accidentally done the same thing and get that panic feeling when you turn the key and nothing happens.
Something you might want to consider doing is turning on the key and take a picture in the RRB of the LEDs just next to those switches that are for start and ignition so you know what it should be like when it is all working. Then take a picture while a friend turns the key to start and hold it a little and take another picture while it is cranking. The RED LEDs being on is good and means the fuse is good. If a RED LED is off means you have a blown fuse going to the coil of the relay. The YELLOW LED is the voltage coming from the ignition switch or if some other circuit from the rocker switch. The GREEN LED is the power coming out of the relay going to the starter solenoid or whatever device you are trying to turn on. With this knowledge you can pretty well troubleshoot any circuit in the Front or Rear Run Box. Monaco is very bad on not telling people this for some reason.
