The stupid thing I did

[tomfisk]

Getting the BB ready for storage and took it for a spin yesterday. Everything ran great and parked it in front of the house for the trip to store it today. Came out this morning and it wouldn't start...nothing when turning the key...check engine light with no codes displayed. Panic . Jumped on here, reading all sorts of threads...checked fluid levels (the coolant was down a bit)...still nothing. Reading more threads about power...and then wham! Last night I flipped the AT switch on the dash. DOH! Everything is good again after banging my head against the wall.

Something similar happened to me at WOG last year. Was parked in the pines, Sunday morning, time to caravan to the adventure vacation. Tanks dumped, full water, coach packed, block heater on 3 hours, go to fire the coach. Nothing. No crank/no start. 15 minutes fiddling around. Threw the A/T switch a few times and VROOM. Made it in time for lunch at White Oak Pastures. Since then, I found my switch had a lot of voltage drop to it. New wire w/ fusible link, new switch and connectors. No trouble since.

Take 2 aspirin for the headbanging.
