Hello All
I have a Montana R3644 Tractor. Montana is now out of business but the Tractors were Manufactured by LS tractor.
Anyway, I recently developed a Electrical Problem. When I went to start the tractor I turned the key to activate the glow plug. it seemed a little odd some clicking and whatnot. but when the glow plug went Out I turned the key to start the tractor. It was one pulse of electricity to the starter then everything went dead.
First I took the battery out and hooked it up to a charger. It charged fine and is holding a charge. So I put it back in and tried to start it. I got some clicking and flashing on the dash but when I turned the key all went dead. I am pretty sure it is not the ignition switch. I think it is the first relay that comes off the ignition wiring. I am not sure what it is. I checked the parts manual and all it says is relay?
The reason It think it is this relay is if I unplug it, it seems to reset itself. If I turn on the hazard flashers this relay clicks then all is dead. As well if I reset it and turn the key I get a little action on the dash but if I turn the key to the start position this relay clicks and all is dead.
There is a LS distributor out of N. Carolina that bought the parts department for Montana tractors as they are LS parts anyway. Problem is no one seems to have this relay. The blade configuration, when looking directly at it. is 2 verticle Blades With one horizontal over the top of them. The part number is mostly worn away but the only one close to it in the parts manual is A30G0005
Any help would be greatly appreciated
