Electrical Trouble in Portland

Hey all, I've got a 1999 Thomas Bus (Freightliner) with electrical issues that are beyond my ability to repair. Something is going wrong in between the starter and the ignition switch and I haven't been able to track it down.

If anyone is local and looking to make some extra money, I would be happy to hire you to come get it running. Please send me an email at gabrielcoeli@gmail.com.

You might try Absolut Repair LLC up near the Columbia. They helped me out with an electrical issue a few years back.

It's possibly something simple that someone here can talk you through. What are the symptoms? There are a few safety systems on busses that prevent starting.
