When Red Dog splashed 27 May, Rocky had no issue with the diesel starting. Hey, it was in my slip when I got there - life it good. Rain kept from going back out to the boat until the 31st. Puttered around, and then thought let's start the engine. Nothing, nada, zilch, no idiot lights, no sounds just nothing. I was on bank one so I flipped over to bank 2. Same results.
Monday the 1st, miracle of miracles, the engine started on bank 1. I wasn't popping champagne yet. I wanted to see the engine repetitively start on both battery banks. No such luck. That first start was the only start I got. Yesterday was more futility. Would not start. So, against my better judgement, left the AC and battery charger on over night. The charger showed maintenance state this morning. Once again, this morning, nothing, turn the key no idiot lights, no noises or sounds that would say it's a bad starter solenoid - just nothing.
I went through today and checked all connections to make sure nothing was loose. I eliminated fuses as I have DC power at the panel.
Two things to mention: Last year I replaced the starter button. Yesterday, I ended up replacing the keyed switch as the old one decided to just fall apart. So I think we can eliminate those of a list of possibilities.
Once again I'm attaching a copy of my as-built wiring block diagram. Hopefully, some one can point in a direction I'm not even thinking of.
Thanks,
Alec
