As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, specific documents, such as owner's manuals for RVs, may not be readily available online for older models. However, you can try the following options to obtain a manual for your 2000 Forest River Cardinal 32LX:
1. **Manufacturer's Website:**
Visit the Forest River official website and check their support or customer service section. Some manufacturers provide online access to owner's manuals or offer support services to help you obtain one.
2. **Forest River Customer Support:**
Contact Forest River directly through their customer support or service department. They may be able to provide you with information on how to obtain a manual for your specific RV model.
3. **RV Owner's Forums:**
Join online RV owner's forums or communities where fellow RV owners discuss their experiences. Members often share resources and may have digital copies of manuals for older RV models.
4. **Used RV Dealerships:**
Reach out to used RV dealerships, especially those that specialize in older models. They may have access to or be able to point you in the right direction for obtaining manuals.
5. **RV Owner's Clubs:**
Check if there are RV owner's clubs or associations dedicated to Forest River owners. Members of these clubs might have valuable resources or copies of manuals for your specific model.
6. **Online Marketplaces:**
Explore online marketplaces, auction websites, or forums where RV-related documents are sometimes sold or shared.
7. **Libraries and RV Shows:**
Local libraries may have RV-related resources, and attending RV shows or events might connect you with knowledgeable individuals who can assist.
Remember that the availability of manuals for older RV models can vary, and it may take some effort to locate one. If you're unable to find a physical manual, consider reaching out to Forest River directly for guidance or assistance. Additionally, some RV owners may have scanned or digitized versions of manuals, so online communities and forums can be valuable resources in your search.

Check the slips rings and brushes, check the stator and rotor windings for continuity and for shorts to ground. Check PCB plug connections. After that you need a new control board

If it runs while start button is pressed but stops when you let go?
Check the rotor bruhes, slip rings are clean on the rotor. If you want to get deeper check and ohm the resisitance of the rotor, and stator both for continuity and ground shorts. Check plugs and wiring on control board. Failing that replace control board

Go to the auto parts store and buy a "Battery Tender" solar powered, or get an electric trickle charger. Or install a battery disconnect for the period the unit is not in use; you can disconnect the battery.

Hi, The 4000 rv unit unit is equipped with full diagnostics, and is indicated by the status light blinking. The blinking sequence, blinks a code as to the fault. If your unit runs and the status light is on without blinking, it is either the circuit breaker on the genset or in your distribution panel that needs to be reset. Good Luck, this should Fixya!
