2013 John Deere 5065E electrical problem

[tlmurray930]

I started my 5065e a few days ago and it ran for about 30 seconds, then died. Would not make a sound when I tried to restart NOR did it have any lights. Everything is dead including starter and all lights and gauges. I removed battery and had it tested by 3 different shops and they all said battery good just needed charging which I did. Put back on tractor still no starter, no lights or gauges. Re-cleaned battery terminals, checked all fuses, checked fuseable link, still nothing, starter will not turn over, no lights or gauges. Tractor only has 350 hours. Any thoughts or ideas will be appreciated.

Are you getting power to starter? Start checking wires from battery. Start small and don’t over think it. Just inspect everything good. Check all fuses good. Like with a multimeter ohm them out.

Did you check ground to frame?

I visually inspected fuses, they were all good. I used a check light on fuseable link and it did light up.

Have not checked ground to frame yet, but I will tomorrow

Please explain checking fuses with multimeter

Please explain checking fuses with multimeter

check the fuse for continuity with the meter

It is so strange that NO lights will work if power goes through fuseable link.

I will check fuses for continuity, thanks
