06 Marquis C13 Starter Solenoid Location
« on: March 22, 2023, 11:23:26 PM »
Hi,

I'm trying to determine the location of the starter solenoid for my coach.  According to the wiring diagram I have for the coach it is in the rear run box.  I've looked in the rear run box and don't see it.  I've seen other diagrams that say it is the solenoid located in the front run box.

The symptom I'm experiencing is when I turn the key to start position nothing happens.  I checked the ignition switch and it is putting out 12+ volts to the solenoid.  Any troubleshooting tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Don

Don,

You by chance didn’t mess with the rear start switch in the rear run bay? If it is set to off or rear start, it won’t start from the cockpit. Hope this helps.

See that power is crossing over to the large right side post of the electrical bay ignition solenoid when the key is turned.

I checked the solenoid and it is fine.  I'm getting power in the front run box as described in the picture. I checked all the slides. 

What I did notice when attempting to start the engine is there are no lights on the Allison transmission shift pad on the console next to the driver's seat with the ignition turned to the run position.

Any suggestions?

Mystery solved, a circuit breaker in the rear run box has tripped.  All is good now.  Thanks to everyone who helped out.  When the coach started my stress level went to zero...
