When I try to start the starter does not engage, the antitheft lite blinks red/green many times, the red 3 times and green once, looks like it cycles a few times. (audible beeping when blinking also.) I can't find much on the antitheft system. I started coach a few days ago and ran fine, has not moved. All other start procedures, lites seem to be fine, no warning etc. I'm a newbe as I just bought the coach not long ago. I have extended warranty, but ya know, I'd like to fix it myself!
Thanks

Just an update, I went out this morning and using duplicate key, the coach started right up, the key appears to be one made at a hardware store. they don't look like a coded key, as they are flat. I have used the factory many times. Now get this, I tried the factory key again and it started right up, sooo I shut it off and tried it again and it did not start. Put in duplicate and fired right up. Guess I'll call Monaco tomorrow and see if they are coded keys or maybe ignition switch troubles. Both keys turn all the way, but one of them just does not engage starter.
anyone heard of this?
