Montana 5740c
Hello all. I just bought a 5740c this winter with 1600hrs on it. It's needed some tlc and replaced a lot of stuff on in without any real issues, however ever since I bought it it seems to have a ghost electrical issue I can't nail down. When I turn the key to start sometimes all the electric comes on but the starter won't turn. Then if I keep turning the key off and on finally after a bunch of times it fires up seemingly on a random key turn. I've gone through all the ground wires battery posts and connections to starter and cleaned and check them. They are all good and the batteries are charged yet it still happens. Is there a relay or something that might be going bad? Again all the lights and dash works just no turn of the starter. Does anyone have a link to a wiring schematic or experience with this issue. Thanks
