I parked my deere after a mow and a few days later went to crank her up and nothing and I cannot figure out what the issue is. ullinghair:
PTO button is down, in Neutral, and parking brake up, and sitting on seat..
instrument panel only has the lower right icon lit up.. which is the engine oil pressure light i believe..
Total hours is maybe 120 hours... 2008/9 model.
When you turn the key on you hear the fuel pump clicking like normal.. but you never hear the click noise that lets you know it is ready to crank..
when you crank you get one little click from the relays in the fuse box...
When I try cranking with the headlights on the headlights do not dim.
I tried jumping the seat button because I'm not hearing the click that lets me know its okay to crank so i was thinking it was the seat button.. but that didn't help.
I swapped relays in fuse box thinking it was one of those but everything acted the same.
I checked fuses all were good, the two that dealt with starting looked good and were functioning right.
swapped battery with my car battery and same results.
tried jumping from a running car and same stuff.
tried putting in gear and turning the key for 30 seconds then going back to neutral (read on another thread) and still same issue.
banged on the starter lol, nothing..
Two things I've just noticed while typing this:
1. I was searching the forum and ended up on a post from me about a batter for this tractor back in Aug 2014.. so thats when I bought this battery lol..
2. Maybe there should be more lights on the cluster when the key is turned on?
