M923A2 Electrical Issues - No STart - No Power

It's a 24v system. 4 batteries makes 24 not 48.

Lights should work all the time if the batteries have any juice at all. You can smack the PCB box under the hood with a hammer with the main switch on and see if itll start.

Its more than likely the PCB box. You can remove the fuel shut off solenoid with a 10mm socket. And jump the starter if you need to use it. Truck just won't have any electrical gauges working.

If all your batteries are testing good then smack the PCB with a hammer and see if itll start. It's a general solenoid in there just needs a little tap like the old Ford trucks needed on their solenoids after old age
