Update on engine no start *Help please*

[Chris]

Had my mechanic who works on CAT engines come out and check things. The
fuel cut off solinoid will work if jumped and engine starts, So
solinoid is good. What supplies power for this? Is there some kind of
fail safe linked to the engine warning system? My engine warning light
has flashed on a few times over the past month but nothing was wrong.
All fluid levels were ok and coach running fine. He believes that has
something to do with it, maybe a module? He is coming back tomorrow to
check each failsafe. Is there some system that will not let the fuel
shut off solinoid open up? Mechanic says not to worry too much...
Thanks

Replace the ignition switch with a universal heavy duty type that has screw
terminals. The original is from a Rambler (Kenosha Kadillac) and they don't
make Ramblers any more. The ignition switch is an example of why they don't.
