Branson 2910i PTO problem

[2910i]

Branson 2910i PTO blows fuses...anyone else had this problem?
Have friend that is more mechanically inclined helping to troubleshoot problem, but we are stumped as to what to check next.
Have tried tracing wiring....all appears to be there.....no broken wires......not sure how an electric switch activates the PTO...assume a solenoid somewhere?? If so how do
I find the solenoid .... anyone know it's location.....any and all advice/recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks

Can you do a resistance (Ohm) check on the wires from the switch to the PTO solenoid? If you are blowing fuses it sounds like there is a short in the circuit and it could be the solenoid or a chafed (mouse chewed) wire.

A dead short would read 0 ohms.
