I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction n this one. my max26xl wont not turn over last week which I am pretty sure was a safety switch issue however my buddy decided to jump the starter. The tractor did start but shut off seconds later which led to the current problem of no lights to the dash. I do not know what my buddy touched when he jumped the starter but after probing and checking fuses he managed to blow the main and every other fuse in the box besides the hazard lights fuse. I replaced those as well as both the load and safety relays. the load relay appears to be bad with resistance show around 175ohms but with these changes I have had no luck getting power back to the dash.

One thing I did notice and I am unaware if this is normal but with the ignition off I only have power at the main and hazard fuses and it is the same case with the ignition switch at the on position. I was thinking my switch might be bad but my probe lights up when testing for power with the switch on. any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to TBN!

If whatever he did blew out all of those fuses, it's a good chance it fried some other terminals or contacts.
You say you have power at the switch coming out. Can you follow that circuit to the fuse block? I would look at the fuse contacts or the connection at the fuse block where the power comes in to it.

Yours should be similar. Hope it helps
