Turn the key, Won't even click - NEED HELP FAST!!
Gang,
Our Memorial weekend trip was semi-ruined when our 1980 35FC wouldn't stay running due to a fuel restriction problem. Since then, I rebuilt the Racor, got it running like a top as recently as a few days ago, and replaced all 4 batteries. This is Sunday afternoon and we are scheduled to leave for our 10 day family vacation on Thursday morning - which means today is critical for preperations. I also just read the tutorial on here about how I was supposed to have been starting the generator. Like a moron, I thought maybe I would do the same with the ignition key and see if it fired up any faster. So I turned the ignition key backwards for about a 3 second count, then went to start it and got NOTHING. NO click, NO NOTHING AT ALL. I know the new batteries are full since the gage on the dash says so as well as the one where you switch the bus to run on generator power - under the dinette in the doorway. I checked all the battery cables and all are tight. The interior lights all fire right up with full brightness. There IS power inside the bus. My first thought is that I may have a bad ignition switch, since - well, you know how it makes that buzzing sound when you have the key on with it not running and the "low air" light comes on? It wasn't even doing that - then it started to with the key "on". Being fancy with the key THIS time is the only thing I have ever done different on trying to start it in my life. Please, please, please help me gitter goin'. I really need this thing to run like new. I've got me, 3 kids and a wife all DYING to camp in it in 4 days, our reservation was made over 6 months ago, the campground is almost 4 hours away, another guy is counting on me to pull is boat up for the group, and a group of 10 other sites of family will be waiting for us - who have already made fun of me this year once because "they paid less for their brand new travel trailer than I did for my antique - and theirs starts every time". They think they are much funnier than I do. I know it sounds like a simple problem, but I already test drove it for 50 miles just last weekend and assumed it was ready to rock, and I don't have much time to consider this anything but panic mode really at this point. Thanks in advance if anybody can help. John, 810-869-2356 if you're not a typer. |
