Onan 4000 mystery deepens
So I "winterized" my 1992 Damon MH awhile ago by taking out the 2 batteries under the hood. Went to put them back in briefly to run the Onan generator for a little while, but it wouldn't start. Both batteries showing 12.46 volts, but when I hit the start button on the generator, all I got was a couple of "clicks" from the relay. I checked voltage at the relay and got 12.46 vdc. I jumped the relay with a jumper and got nothing (12.46 vdc strait to starter). I started the main engine, then the generator started right up with the house power switch in the "ON" position. If I select the "OFF" position on the house power switch, the generator dies.
So, in short, in order to use or start my generator, the main engine has to be running, and the house power has to be selected to the "ON" position. All I've done to it is removed and charged the batteries on a trickle charge. Need a wiring diagram drastically!
