I've been faithfully reading all of the posts for almost a year and perhaps 3% of them describe an electrical problem(i.e, alternator failure, starter failure, or a pto solenoid that fails to actuate). I have a 4500 FWD and my dealer is a little ways away from me - called me and told me about a problem Mahindra was experiencing with an improper ground from the negative side of the battery terminal. On my model, the negative battery terminal grounds directly to the front grill housing with a flat washer - nothing to scratch the paint surface nor protective grease to repel corrosion at this ground point. He attended a Mahindra seminar where they suggested a star washer to contact and penetrate the paint as a "fix". My dealer, who has a logical knowledge of electrical flow, recommended that I replace the ground wire with a premade cable(6awg stranded and coated cable) available at the farm supply stores in various lengths, mine worked out to be 46" in length and ran it directly to the starter top bolt holding it to the engine. I had no troubles up to his phone call but it makes me wonder if alot of the electrical problems in the other posts aren't due to a similar problem. Mahindra was reluctant at first to pay for the new cable but my dealer told me to fix the trouble the right way and he'd reimburse me for my time and trouble to fix it right. If you're having problems, check the grounding of the negative battery terminal out first. Warranty is great but I plan to keep my 4500 for a long time after the warranty is over. Why put undo stress on components where you don't have to?
