New members looking for help! NO START

[Josh.]

Hello everyone and I'm glad we made it to this point. We are excited to get this journey started.



We have a 2003 IC FE300, International 3900 series bus chassis Type D, DT466E.


The problem we currently have is getting the bus to start.


We started taking out the AC units, the interlocks, and we have unplugged a few wires but after all that the bus was still starting.



The last thing I can remember doing was labeling some of the wires and plugging them right back in to where they came from, but now the bus wont start. All the gauges come on and it beeps but no engine turn over at all. The engine did the same thing when I unplugged a few wires in the rear of the bus but when i plugged them back up, the bus started just fine.



Any help would be great and if anyone knows where to get a wiring diagram that would be cool too. Thank you for any help

I posted lots of wiring diagrams for a ‘’99 Amtran re. The FE is not much different.

Also, try the search function. Your question has been asked numerous times.

Also, check your Ecm fuse too, it should be in the battery box.

If you have a push button tranny then check that fuse too.

Personal note: I can’t understand why people mess with the wiring. Other than the wig wag lites not being needed…..

Thank you very much. Okay so the wiring diagrams don't have to be specific make, year and model to work. Ive been trying to find my specific buses diagram and have had no luck at all.



I have typed in questions but they might be too specific or im asking the wrong questions, which is why im not having much luck on finding whats wrong with our bus. Thank you very much for the diagrams and the other thread you posted.

have you cut wires since you last started the bus.
if not then start by checking battery voltage if so then start reconnecting the last bunch of wires you cut. mainly anything orange or yellow vandalock safety related.
i always start with good hot batteries start the bus turn it off
cut one wire and start the bus if no start then you know exactly which wire not a guess at which one in the 20 you cut needs to be reconnected.

I have not cut any wires since i last started the bus.


I have the battery on a trickle charger and the last time i checked, the batteries were fine.


Once i figure out the problem and how to get it started, that will be the process i take with removing wires. Is there a way to go through each wire on the panel and ensure each end is receiving power incase its just a faulty wire?

Josh will you telephone me and talk for a little bit. I might be able to help in thought process to track this down.

I think for the most part you are on the correct path.
