Kubota BX2200 will not shut off when key in off position.

[DeanE]

I have a Kubota BX2200 with approx 260 hours on it. I noticed about 2-3 weeks ago that all the lights would stay on at all times (blinkers/hazard switches would not work--the lights were just steady on). My fuel gauge then seemed to act funny. Today, while the tractor was running, the lights all went off, fuel guage went dead and the tractor would not shut off when the key was placed in the off position. I got the tractor to shut off by disconnecting the fuel line.

Now, the key switch does nothing when turned to the on and start position, no lights turn on. I checked all the fuses and they are all fine, none blown. What should I do next? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you have electrical issues that have drained your battery. the tractor is shut down by a solenoid that moves a fuel stop lever on your fuel injection pump. There is a manual lever on the pump that can be used the engine down if the solenoid fails. I would start by inspecting all of the electrical connections and wiring for loose connections or shorts. :thumbsup:

Thanks so much. I'll check the battery to see if it is dead before doing anything else.
