Electrical Problems 2007 3325 Mahindra

[coal digger]

I checked battery, cables, post, and all fuses. Checked PTO safety switch. No lights, no gauges, after turning switch on. Replaced switch, starter relay, and timer. Still scratching me head on this one.

Not sure about your model (ie. all the safety switches) I assume you don't hear any clicks? I would lean towards a safety switch if the battery checked out, is there seat switch? ...clutch, pto, gears in neutral switch? Have you tried to bypass these safety switches?

PTO and Neutral switches have continuity. No seat, no clutch switches. Haven't tried bypass. Still puzzled! Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

this wouldn't be a safety switch issue. Sounds to me like you have no juice going anywhere and missed a fuse in the main battery feed somewhere. Or a battery cable is busted or the connection of the ground cable to the tractor frame/engine or where ever it is attached is very ungood.

According to the Manual a separate fuse for a rotary pump solenoid is supplied and will not let the tractor start. I have searched for this fuse and cannot find it. A tractor mechanic told me it was close to the battery. Anybody KNOW where it is? Thanks!

If the OP has no power at all its probably a main fuse. Another Mahindra owner recently posted about the same problem. The cure was to remove the left side cover under the dash and the bad fuse was found in there. The OP replied to that thread but not sure he has the same no power problem or whether he checked that fuse. Sawduster2 posted pics of the location of the blown main fuse on his 3525.

That is right. I found that 30amp fuse, it is still good. I'm thinking there must be a inline fuse somewhere in the wire harness. So for my head is still spinning.

Well I cleaned ground wire, and frame. Instrument panel lit up when I turned on the switch. The starter still would not turn over. When I turned on lights the instrument panel went plank. Still confused.

How about the ground strap to the frame?...So Battery to engine, engine to frame....

Maybe a missing ground connection. It usually is when things start to turn wierd like that.
