Check Master Battery Cutoff - Leroy A. Eckert - 02-27-2008 08:29
I went out to start the bus today, it turned over about 5 times and
everything shut down. Nothing worked. I snooped around and found no
power exiting the master cutoff switch. I changed it out and all is
well. I bought two of them one for a spare just in case it happens
again out somewhere in the boonies. For $32.00 it is a good spare to
carry if you have a battery master switch. fwiw.

Is that the toggle switch on the dash? Or the one in the overhead bulkhead?

Check Master Battery Cutoff - Leroy Eckert - 02-27-2008 12:19
In my case it is the master manual cutoff for the battery system in the engine compartment. One wire from the main hot gang battery point and three major hot wires to the starter and other places. All wires are the size of standard battery cables. 01- 02 gauge???
I took the occasion to clean the main ground connections at the same time. In my coach there are 5 major and 5 smaller wires hooked to the same ground point in the engine bay.
After I corrected the problem I found the engine starter spun over rapidly and the engine fired after about 8 turns even though the temp was 30 degrees.
Funny about these things. A couple of days ago I started the coach and noticed some starter sluggishness I had not encountered before. I concluded cold weather at the time. Not so.
This is not the electronic master I am talking about.

When I was broke down in Albany Ga. I had to replace my my starter and the batery switch. Now with both master switches off and the memory switch off I am still getting a battery drain. No big deal as long as have shore power to support the Inttell power 90 amp
