"Starting Problem" 1984 GM 6.2L "Running Buffalo".... Sits!

Battery Diagram Arrived!
Fleetwood was kind enough to send me some schematics, but I'm havin a lil trouble reading it.
It shows the three batteries set up in parallel, but I still am confused about the Deep Cycle placement.
The middle AUX battery is where the DC is in my rig.
Ok, hope ya can see the pic's.... took them with my cell phone.... arghhhh
Zoom or a magnifying glass may be needed.... sorry....
As you can see from the picture below, it's not set up anything like what Fleetwood sent.... arghhhhh

You might have it like that now, but all 3 gnd. cable tie together and bolt to the frame, big cables on top of it. The + lead of the deep cell goes to a relay then the +'s on the starting batt's tie together and one lead goes to the starter.

Too many who are not familiar with a MotorHome setup (including me), but with "good intentions" have looked at it & moved things around, it's no wonder Running Buffalo is on strike
Looks like I'll be moving things around & making up an additional short lead today
Lil luck here<<<<

Kind of hard to read the schematics...
But, with the schematics in front of you - you should have no trouble tracing the wires and rewiring. Pick a starting point on the schematic and walk through each and every wire. And take your time - it wont be as hard as it looks. Good luck.

Arghhh, not yet my friend.
Had to temporarily put it on the back burner. Right now I'm working on some wind damage from when those tornadoes passed through. Fixing leaks & restoring power to one side of the coach. All will be much easier once the weather clears again. Crazy Weather!
I've got pretty much what I need, to get it done, just waiting on the weather.... again....

Spent my winter waitin on the weather to. Tornados took my barn and shop a few days after Cristmas and then froze up tight the next day for some weeks so I couldnt even break the debris lose. Truck sat dead in the driveway while I worked on it here and there when the weather would get nice since the shop was gone. IT SUCKS.
Good luck on it and keep us up on how it's all goin.

Finally Got it done;)
Re-wired the Batt leads in parallel and bypassed the solenoid that is supposed to kick in the other batteries when the starter batt gets weak.
Now all three batts kick in at the same time..... Plenty of juice now
Put in a new starter, instead of rebuilding the old one.... again.
Varoom.... on the road again!
Now the only thing I have to do is fix that lil fuel leak at the sensor on the air fuel water separator unit.... if I can find a place that has one.
Probably looking at updating the system, but that's another venture
Many Thanks to Everyone for the support here at DB
Hope Everyone had a Very Merry Christmas!
