As I was working on my GMC today, I attempted to start the generator as I had never heard it run from outside, I have always been inside the coach when it was running. It gave me trouble free operation during my jaunt from New Mexico to DC, and I had no problems whatsoever. The Onan fired up readily each time.
I looked into the generator compartment and noticed that the negative cable was loose on the battery. So I tightened it up thinking that was the problem. No dice.
I checked the breaker on the top of the Onan, it did not need to be reset. I then checked the breaker at the panel and recycled it to be sure, but no dice.
The generator makes no effort to start, so I am fairly sure it is an electrical problem. Are there any other breakers or fuses I should be aware of? Any thoughts on where to look first before I start tracing the cabling back looking for bad connections?
