I have a Bobcat CT230. Will not turn over with switch. I checked the fuses and the 5 amp fuse to the safety circuit was blown. I changed it, still would not start with the key. Jumpered the starter and it started and ran. Turn tractor off, try to start it again, no luck. Fuse not blown. Sometimes you can hear the pull up relay pick up sometimes not. Every once in a while I can get it to start with a jumper at the starter. Now the 5 amp fuse is blown again. Not sure what is blowing the 5 amp fuse. Might have been my with my volt meter checking voltage at the operational control unit.
Any way to test the operational control unit? I get the PTO light when I engage PTO, it goes out when I disengage the lever. I jumpered the switch for the travel pedel. I jumpered the seat swich.
No voltage at the start relay. I can use a jumper across the start relay and start it there when it wants to start.
I checked the switch in each position using a continuity check. Blue/yellow wire to red wire circuit closed with switch in start. Red wire to red/blue closed with switch in glow plug position. Red to red/white closed with switch in run.
