This video will teach you everything you need to know about diagnosing why your heavy equipment vehicle won't start. The heavy-duty mechanic will walk you through the process of troubleshooting a CASE backhoe and show you how to fix it. In the bonus round of the video, we’ve got a Volvo rock truck with the same problem. The rock truck is dead in the water and the vehicle won’t start.

What to check:
1) Night switch
2) Battery age/condition
3) Check the connections are tight/not corroded
4) Breaks in wires
5) Voltage drop
ALSO CHECK:
6) Batteries are properly hooked up!
