    I’ve got a 05 IH 9400i. I dropped trailer and parked it in front of my shop. Was running fine. I went to start it 2 days later and it will crank like never before but no start. it has 4 new batteries all connections are clean. All connections look good at starter. Have fire to ecm. When I turn the key on I get no check engine light and the high water temp and low oil pressure lights blink constantly. Also after guages sweep they’ll go to 6 o’clock position and stay there while cranking. I pulled rear ecm plug. I have constant power to 48 53 63 65 67. I gain 52 and 70 with key. I thought 63 65 and 67 are grounds and 52 was supposed to be a constant. I’m confused. I’m not electrically inclined but I do 90% of my work. Just wondering if anyone has any insights on this. All my fuses are good I’ve checked key switch and gauge clusters for chaffed wires and bad connections. Any help would be much appreciated

    Any smoke coming out the stack when cranking?
    Are you sure you are not out of fuel?

    CK. lt with a small shot of spray start just to see if fires up for a sec., if it will not start and keep on running after the spray can you have to go back to wires from batt. to fuse to wires leading to ecm. and ck them ground and power, the crankshaft has two sensors 1 behind and 1 under the air comp. can go bad and not throw a code, and motor will not run when one goes bad?

    Sounds like no power to ecm if no check engine light when turn the key on, check ecm fuse and terminals

    I had a similar issue that turned out to be the ignition fuse. I looked at it and it looked good. I checked it with a multimeter and it showed me different. This may not your issue, but it's easy, fast and cheap to see.
