Need some help:
About 2 months ago tractor wouldnt start. Idiot lights came on but when I turned key they all went out. If I jiggled the + terminal I could get it going. I replaced the positive clamp and good to go.
This morning same thing lights go out when I turned key. The positive is tight. The negative is loose so I tried to jump start with jumper from charger on the negative cable etc. No go. Also there is a black box (solenoid??) bolted to the firewall. When I connect jumper or reattach cable to battery it is buzzing , not a click but a buzz or vibration.
Could this be the problem? I opened it up and the connections seem clean. I cannot tighten down negative cable need new clamp but shouldnt connecting battery charger directly to the cable bypass this problem. Im under warrenty but this involves renting a trailer and driving 50 miles to the dealer or a dealer "house call" too expensive.
Any help is appreciated. BTW: there appears to be two identical black boxes one on the left and one on the right just forward of the steering wheel. It is the one in front of steering wheel which "buzzes"
Any help is appreciated
