Not sure if my last email went through..
Hi, my name is Chase. I'm broke down in L.A..
Drove down from Freemont/Applied GMC on my way back to Las Vegas.
I parked and turned engine off.. Needed to back up a bit, so I went to start, power and battery good, but will not crank over at all. I really don't think it's the starter.. Ignition switch ? Park/Neutral safety switch ? Starter/selenoid ?

If anyone can help, I must return to Vegas for work by the July 6th.. It is the Fourth of July today.. Please, if you are available and can help, please contact me at
702-541-3089.. Chase

Thank you

Chase (aka JP)

Now that you have come up for air....

In my prior, I relayed that from what you have said, it is probably the ignition switch on the column and it may just be out of adjustment.

Almost as import as that is that now you can appreciate the power and support the this community provides. If you want to buy the beer and get a story time started at a rally. It may just go on for hours.

Now that you are here, you are a part of a community like few others. These are supporting and helping people. It is best that you pay attention to what the experienced (some have amazing accumulated coach miles and time) people tell you. If you don't they won't be annoyed, but they may not bother to answer you when the problem repeats. They will offer up some truly wonderful support. The only other place I have seen support like this is at home among the watermen. That being said, that is why I like to welcome new owners much as a new owner or vessel is welcomed there. So,

May the Good Lord bless this coach and all those that set forth within her.

Welcome Chase,

Matt
