Now go back through the tests using the engine batteries and the merge function.
So many times it is simply a loose connection and mostly a loose ground (-). Not sure about your engine but my 6V92 requires 2000 cranking amps and that is why there are two 8D batteries.
Good luck, I know that it can be frustrating, just write down the findings while performing the tests with the volt meter and test the voltage at numerous points of the positive (+) and negative (-) cables one cable at a time.

I have been trouble shooting problems a long time and that is why I suggested starting from the beginning. I always start at one end then the other end, then cut the circuit in half and then half again. I will record the readings on a complicated circuit and have found this approach to work well for me.
Glad it worked out. Off to the Colorado River tomorrow!!

We'll be stopping by on our way to Senator Wash, Tom, and will do our part! Should be there by the 5th, or 6th of Feb. at the latest.
Clarke and Elaine
