2013 Seneca Starter Solenoid?? (Freightliner M2 Chassis)

Went to start her up today after winter storage (5 months).batteries were dead (even though they were new..)



could only get the coach to start when these 2 terminals were connected[/URL]. We stumbled onto this when jumping it to get it started. The jumper cables were connected over the 2 terminals, and then when we removed them, the coach died. I used the vice-grips to get her to the dealer.

I supposed we could have hurt something while jumping?
We tried everything to get it started:
- jumping house batteries and using the override relay to start coach with house batteries
- putting jump on coach batteries (under driver seat - what a pain)
- putting jump on these terminals in engine area marked "Battery +"

Finally got her started when these connections were made...

Any ideas? Thanks so much,
-scott

That may be a fusible.link that needs to be replaced.

Thanks Grumpy...
The only thing that worries me is that my ScanGuage was not working when I had this "temporary" fix applied...if they are supposed to be linked, I would assume all systems would be working with this "connection" made. All fuses were good in the fuse box pictured.

Did one of the 125-amp mega fuses blow? You got it to the dealer, hopefully they can troubleshoot it quickly!
