When you say it wouldnt start, what do you mean ? Lights come on on dash?, Engine turn over ?, Totally dead ? What ?

As Deano said.. more detail would help.
But have you checked your main battery? These vehicles do lots of funky things if they aren't getting enough voltage... I recently discovered :angel:
