Generator Dead !
« on: February 24, 2019, 09:18:21 PM »
I went to start the generator today and i have no power to it!, No power at the bedroom switch, no power at the dash, i even slid out the genny and the panel on the unit has nothing either!!!  Is there fuses to this generator? Some type of relay? Where do i start?

Dwight,
12v for the generator goes thru a large (125A I think) fuse that should be in the rear compartment near the batteries.

Our generator is an Onan 12.5 kw Quiet Diesel.  On the generator near the start switch there is a small, 2" square (maybe 4") cover held in place by one screw.  Under that cover there are two auto fuses.  Check them.
