Update!!! Finally after sitting at the repair shop for over a week they worked on it and found the problem. Are you ready??.... it was the kill switch! Somehow it got hot and apparently shorted out. And... I had already had bought an alternator for them to install. Also, as noted above the tow truck driver damaged the oil pan and they replaced that too.

I'm a shade tree mechanic at best. Here is the dumbest question that will ever be asked on here.

The kill switch for what?

[Dave Atherton]

Stan, maybe we need to change the word to battery disconnect switch. The reason for the disconnect
switch to keep battery’s from discharge durning extended stays at campground or storage of motor
home. On earlier Detroit Diesel engines had what everyone called a kill switch in case of engine
runway which shuts off air supply to engine via: blower box. Dave Atherton Retired Cat Mechanic

Thanks Dave.  Like Stan and questioning my admittedly limited mechanical self confidence, I was scratching my head over where the heck on my rig was a so-called “Kill Switch”...

On the 02 Marquis there was a switch to start the engine from the front or the rear (filter bay) compartment.  The switch said front, off, rear.  Might that be it?

I have that same switch in my filter bay too. The battery disconnect switch (kill switch) on my coach is located in the battery bay on the wall next to the batteries. I actually have two, one for the chassis batteries and one for the house batteries.

Thank you. Now I know what you mean. I have the same battery disconnect switches, in the battery bay.
