I'm assuming the dump batteries are charged because of the voltage reading, but could it be that after no use for a month they have lost enough charge to create this problem? I drove it most of a month with the system turned off, but did have it on for a while. They should be getting a charge. It's getting a signal from the controller because it does try to spin for just a moment. I'm at a loss to figure it out.
Start with confirming your level and charging system. I would never assume anything when it comes to batteries. Check you draw amperage. That has more meaning than volts.
