Haven’t posted in a while, but I have one that has me stumped, and could use some advice..
My engine starts when cold. When the engine is warm and I turn the engine off and then try to restart it, it acts like the battery is nearly dead. I’ve had the batteries checked at two locations and both say the batteries are good. Once the engine is completely cold, the coach starts just fine.
I recently had both the alternator and starter replaced thinking they were part of the problem (they need replacing anyway) but that did not solve the problem.
After stopping with the engine not running I get a 12 volt reading from the battery, and while the engine is running I get a14.5 reading at the battery, so it appears that the batteries are charging while the engine is running
Coach runs fine until I stop, then it barely cranks over, until it is cold again several hours later.
thanking everyone in advance for your thoughts.
