DFW repair help/teaching in DFW mid-cities area - starting curcuit

[Stickperson]

My ZD326 won't start (again) - no crank. I'm looking for someone in the DFW area to show me how to diagnose. $200 and some food sound good? If so, please message me directly.

Battery load-tested fine. The starter tested at Autozone and works fine. Fuses good. Relays click, though I don't know enough to fully test. I have about all the tools and test equipment you could need. I loaded the parts cannon and new relays, fuses, and safety switches are on the way. I have the repair manual with wiring diagram. I'm really looking for someone to show me how to use the multimeter to test which part of the circuit is bad and track down the final issue.

I do request you wear a mask when we are together.

Thanks,

Larry

Ok...check the 2 wires on left side of machine going to starter. My ground came loose and did same thing. I ended up putting a new female spade connector on and all is well

Bigpuddie - thanks, will check. I'm still interested in paying to have someone show me the process of diagnosing the circuit.

Well... in checking the PTO safety switch (which was fine), I had to take off and reassemble the console. And it started. Must have been a loose wire there. No idea which. Sigh. Thanks for the reply.
