well
Chrissy hasnt been started in over a week
though i had the charger hooked up most of today
not sure tho
to dark and cold now

but i hit the start, nothing,
got turn signals
i did notice then when i hit the brake switch
the headlight would come on, dimly,
i may have never noticed this before, because she
usually starts and i may never have seen it.
im NOT panicking yet.
id hook the charger back up all night
but that line is for the motion detector light

so 1st thing AM ill plug it in for 6-7-8 hours and we will see
but u REAL mech could throw a hint if you like

notice where i came to post,

First thing to check Terrilee is the battery wire connections and the ground cable to the frame. Sounds like the classic bad connection and also after a good charge le the battery cool for one hour and check the voltage with your trusty volt meter.

thanks JR
ya know what, im a blonde now & then
was on that cold weather for richard thread,
and alley got me thinking,
when i connected the trickle to the bat
and then up on the porch to switch that plug with
the one that runs the motion detector light,
then right inside and flipped the switch
well i went back and just flipped the tent down
and shoveled snow, and dont 'member looking in to see lights
on charger,
so when i went in tonight i switched plug for MD light
and ddint see the lites again

so ima gonna plug it all up again tom. and see

thanks again

update well, its warm enough to pull Chrissy outa the tent
to see what this no start shit is all about
but of course, its raining like HECK

jr now here is what is weird, i havent physically moved her in, ehh, 2 weeks, have started her almost every day, except the 4 before the NO START, so how could something have changed?
oh i will check every thing, if i can ever get to it. w/o freezing or getting soaked .
When i move, i gotta get a place with at least a garage even if it isnt heated
