8v92 will not crank

[Mike McMahan]

Scott, You have been given good advice by the group so far. If none
of these help, the starter soelnoid is mounted on the inner frame
rail on the passenger side of the coach back by the starter. If
memory serves me correctly there is two soelnoids tied together in
the circuit. My first guess is a bad ground. Open the hood, stand
by the rear of the coach while someone else tries to start it and see
if you hear anything. If the grounds are all clean and tight check
the large power post on the starter. Check not only the bolted
connection but the tightness of the ctimp attaching the wore to the
eyelet that fastens to the starter. I have seen several instances of
the connection failing. Hope this helps. Mike mcMahan 1996 42"
