This morning when I started the bus it turned over but didn't start. It is colder here in Quebec where we are parked at the moment. When I went to try turning it over again I got nothing, just a little click noise. I tried again about 20 times including from the rear. After waiting about 10 minutes, it started. Wondering what may have caused this and is this something that is going to get worse and needs attention? Thanks, Craig
Batteries low? Didn't spin her over fast enough to start. Then clicking noise....batts deadish, then waiting ten minutes they recover enough to get her going since cylinders are warmed up from previous attempt?

I had the same issue with mine this year. With mine, it was a bad connection on the start batteries. Hope it 's that simple for you.
My Dash gauge was showing 24v. I'll check the batteries though. I at least got to Montreal where we'll be for a few days. Thanks guys. Craig
Craig - check your connections to relays. Sometimes there is buildup from two types of metal especially if the relays have copper pins and the connectors are aluminum.
I have had that problem as well and it was just pulling and reseating the relays to fix.
It definitely sounds like something electrical.

Check your ground connection.
My starter batteries were 6 yrs old, so I changed them out and I haven't had any trouble the last few times Iv'e started it. They were due anyway so it ended up being an easy fix. Even the easy ones stress you out when things aren't working right. Craig
It sounded from your description like it was weak batts. Let's hope so! Keep bussing! Miss you guys! And shanks, have fun at bontragers without me and never forget who introduced you to them :-)
