Help!!!!
Today I returned after being at work in Russia for one month. I went to check out our 2002 Contessa prior to a trip that we would be taking next week and low and behold it would not start off of the chassis batteries without the assistance from the house batteries. the meter on the inverter readout showed that the chassis batteries had 0 charge and the coach batteries had 13.4. I am assuming that the system worked as designed and quit charging the chassis batteries as I leave the coach plugged in to shore power while I am away. Is this the indication of a burnt or bad cell or some other gremillion? Once i got the engine started, it was showing a charge going to the batteries of 14.4 to 14.5 volts. Also, the speedometer is pegged all the way on 85 and will not move back to zero once started. And the engine warning light is also illuminated...Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.
Hopefully I got the spelling right this time around.
Thanks
