XG 3032 intermittent start

[Kebees42]

I have a XG 3032 that when it sits overnight the starter won't activate until I move the high medium low shifter backhand forth. After the first start of the day it works fine. It's been at a dealer for over a week and they have no idea. They say all the safety switches working properly and all the grounds are good. Anyone else have this problem or any ideas what to check out?

Doesn't it "have to be" that sensor on THAT shifter?? Just replace it..
It probably has some slight adjustment to it... I'd start w/ THAT..

It has to be that switch. It has become intermittent. It will probably get worse and worse until you can’t get it to start.
I’m thinking that it may have water in it and when it sits, the contacts corrode until you activate it several times.

There is no switch in speed range shift. They safety switch is on the forward reverse shifter.

I believe there are only four safety switches on that tractor; PTO, FNR Neutral Start, clutch pedal, and seat. I could be wrong, but don't see any others in the schematics for a shuttle shift model.

You are correct. It will only start if I jiggle high medium low shifter. That's what dont make since.

I would look closely at the linkage for the range selector. There could be (speculating) a wire for one of the start interlocks in proximity. There is intermittent contact which causes a short. Wire is loose and moves around (hence, jiggling lever affecting), giving the intermittent nature of the problem.

Fix could be as easy as repairing the wire rub through and tying the wire back so it does not make contact.

Good luck!

Is the HML shifter making contact with a safety switch wire? Most likely wires would be for the seat safety switch or the clutch pedal safety switch. Also, check operation of clutch pedal safety switch plunger (underneath left side foot/running board). Might be hanging up or out of alignment.

I looked at all of that and it is at a dealer and they tell me they have also checked all of that. After first start of day it works like it is supposed to. That's what is baffling.

This problem started shortly after purchasing and I called my dealer and he told me to clean paint off at grounds. I did that and it worked for a few months then it started again. I cleaned grounds again and it didnt help.
