He went under and could not get it to fire, thought batteries were weak, but tested fine, asked if there was a disconnect, yep right here.. Funny only got 6 volts on the other side of the disconnect. Came up and looked at the remote disconnect, which I had reset after connecting the batteries.

However..... I noticed when I did that the light was sort of flikering on the engine batteries, but paid no attention.

He reset the button, hit the key and away it went.

So all the power up, power down, clicking and stuff was due to having only half the voltage, enough to light things up, but not enough to make anything happy.

$270 total for a simple finger push...

Happy to be running however.

Now to change some window glass on the side of the coach, seal failed and two windows are really foggy.

Thanks for the help.

I think I got this disconnect thing fixed.... I replaced the solenoid put all the wires back on and it still did not work. Only had 6-8 volts on the starter.... Took it off again.

Then when I was having a guy look at why the tail lights, brake lights and flashers would not work on the drivers side rear (which was a relay) he looked at the intec disconnect for me. Got the wiring diagram.

Turns out a Coach hot wire was on the Engine side of the disconnect. Put that wire back where it should have been and all worked out fine.
