onan wiring harness help

[DAY8293A@...]

have you tried turning off all the circuit breakers in the coach?
when you hook up the harness, is the source selector in the coach on generator?
or do you have the automatic switch over box? make sure you have no load
attached to the generator when you connect the harness,,, that will be the first
step in troubleshooting the thing. if the problem still persists with your
being absolutely sure there is no load on the system, it will tell you it is in
the wiring. if the problem goes away, first switch on the gen select to gen
(if you have the manual selector)
then,start turning on circuit breakers until you see which one loads
down the generator. good hunting,,, day jax fl 83 pt-40
