<p>Yeesh. It's all about getting to the source. If you can trace that heavy gauge positive to the starter, you can also find the ground close by. Most motorhomes have what's called a chassis battery to run the engine and coach battery (or battery bank) somewhere else that get charged up and runs the stuff in the RV.</p>

<p>Connect this to the - terminal on the battery. Ensure that the frame/engine connection is clean and tight. Poor ground is generally the cause of electrical issues.</p>

Right, but right now there’s no batteries and a bunch of positive and negative wires that used to go to three. Can I hook all those up to one battery and crank the engine?
