Help help help Georgie Boy 1994 start problem

[BDS52]

I have a 1994 georgie boy encounter-it will not start-i turn the key and all i get is a click. i replaced the battery, i replaced the starter-i believe it is a starter relay problem-but cannot find the starter relay-it is not under the hood-but the click sounds very close to the firewall-can any one help-please email me at bdstricker@gmail.com to ensure I get a response

Is this a class "A" Motorhome on an F53 chassis?

I will guess it is an F53.

Neutral start switch on the transmission?

I'm nor sure about your particular year, but there is another starter relay piggy-backing the starter.

[subford]

His now problem is that the 12GA Red wire that runs from the starter relay to the starter solenoid has caught fire. He is now going to be running a bypass wire from the starter relay to the starter solenoid on top of the starter.

He has also replaced the starter relay and the starter along with its solenoid before the fire.

[Jagtech]

Worst case scenario is a seized engine. Not really what you want to hear, right? Try turning the crankshaft by hand using a flat bar at the flywheel teeth. That'll at least eliminate that possible cause. A burnt starter primary wire indicates heavy current draw, which a frozen engine will do.

[subford]

This red wire does not carry a high current as it just goes to the solenoid windings to close the contacts on the starter cable from the battery to the starter.

I guess as I did not see any information about a fire in his first post.
This is not a high load wire does he say if anything else was damaged in the fire.

No and I have not heard back from him at this point.

Got a new starter and solenoid-checked it on the ground for engage disengage ment-work fine-put it in-and the starter will not disengage-the first start ran fine-second start it would not disengage-removed it-and checked it again-starter seems to be okay--autozone starter replacement life time warranty-could the model have changed??? don't know-if you see a large fire-its me burning the damn thing down. thanks for all your help guys-I sincerely appreciate it.

got it running boys-the alternator was wired to the wrong friggin post???? But problems remain that were not issues before all this-going to test more stuff tomorrow

[Jagtech]

I have not had very good luck with "remanufactured" starters. Got lucky on the third one last time. In future, I'll opt for a new one, even if it is more costly.
