Ran just fine all day powering the A/C. Shut it down when I got home, a week later crank but no start and the board and 2 diodes are burned. The K1 relay is also not connecting power to the "I" terminal, which is necessary to turn on the K3 relay.

I'll fix this with a wire, but I would like to know the root cause of all the damage.

This diode (CR1) is what power must flow through from K1 to energize K3 to turn on the ignition and fuel pump. If I remove the relay cover and push the relay to make contact, Onan will start and keep the relay pulled in by itself, just like it is supposed to do normally.

Notice the other burned diode---CR7

Anybody recognize whether this is the original board or not? Looks just like the one in the manual. I plan to repair it.

It worked when I parked it... Laughing
