Coach has been sittin in storage since beginning of November. Cranked fine, ran fine.
Went to crank it up today. Turn the key and…. Nothing. No crank. Isolated each the chassis batteries and checked voltage and they were about 13.6 House was 13.6. Batteries were merged
Checked voltage at the starter and it was 13.6 positive and ground with the meter ruling out bad battery cables
Checked the starter relay where the rear start switch is, red on the small wire of the relay, and black to ground on the battery and turned the rear start switch. It went from 2.7mv (switch off) to 6.0mv (switch on) and 22mv (switch in crank position). I would’ve thought this would have had volts not milli volts going thru it.
I’m thinking the relay is bad?? I’m going to jump the relay next time I’m out where I store it. But does anyone have the part number for this?? So I can have a spare?? Or confirm that it’s bad? Or can anyone shed any other light on the subject??
Thanks
