Starting Issues

[NfiniteMile]

So I Just Replaced My Batteries With Brand New Ones. When I Turn The Key To “On” The Bus Does The Regular Thing (Buzz Noise, Glow Plug Light, etc). But When I Turn The Key To Start The Bus, Everything Just Goes Out And Nothing Happens.

What Do You All Think?

the power is not getting to the starter, try jumping it and see if it will crank if not even start with key ON of course.

If everything goes dark when you hit the starter I'd be looking at the battery cables and how well they're attached to the new batteries.

Have you checked the voltage of the replacements?

I second this suggestion. Just fixed a similar problem on a friend's Pathfinder and the neg battery clamp was loose even though the bolt was tight.

I third this.

Check for corrosion and tight connections. Also check the other end of the cables and make sure those are clean and tight.
