    '89 MCI Won't Start

    Hi, I've been converting an 89 MCI 102c3, and just a few weeks ago it wouldn't start. Won't even try. The weird part is that I started it and moved it back and forth a week or so before. When I got the bus the ignition didn't work up front, so I start it using a button in the rear. Here's...

    No response to turning the key

    I can't get any response from my bus when I turn the key. No lights, no "the emergency exit is open" alarms, no response. According to the dashboard the battery has charge. I've been really careful about wires...except the stop signs. Obviously the insurance company wanted them off, and I...
