Tractor
John Deer 4400
So new- First tractor ever!!

My John Deere 4400 was working great no problems- parked it in the shed for a day tried and thennothing no lights no dash no click. the little PTO light looked like it was on quickly when it stopped in that first moment there was Small click then nothing- like a safety switch went on and blew the fuse- (ignition was burned )

cleaned pto and seat switch
lubed it all up

SO I NEED to find neutral switch maybe then check all switches? and find out why pto thinks it is on?

I can still see a very faint PTO light every once in a while- it’s obviously wiring or switch because I left the key on for while ran to the hardware store on accident lights flashing- it happened once briefly and I couldn’t get it to happen again:

Welcome to TBN
First blush, would suspect the battery is dead. Just had my 4300 do the same "trick" on me.
But also remove and clean the battery cable connections both ends to be certain there is no corrosion, and then also have the battery tested under load.

Let us know how that goes.
