A few weeks back , i posted a problem about a short which kept blowing the 30 amp. fuse for the key switch. This is the conclusion of the search to resolve the problem. After many hours of searching with the meter and replacement of the key switch , and inspecting all related wires and switches , the short was finally discovered to be a bad temperature sensor in the cold start advance system for the fuel injection pump. I now have come to believe this is not a rare occurrence on the John Deere 5205 model. This has been a excellent learning experience which has taught me much about my tractor , although there was a time or two i wanted to just run the whole thing into the creek. I wanted to express my thanks to all those who offered suggestions .
