Daniel_Heetderks 35 #1 Posted Monday at 06:03 PM I'm trying to troubleshoot my tractor not turning over when i turn the key. Ive been jumping the solenoid to start every time. I recently replaced the starter, solenoid, and ignition module, but all I get when i turn the key is a tick from the solenoid. Would this possibly be a safety switch issue? Or does the tick indicate that its a solenoid issue? I know the starter works fine, cuz I can still start it with the ole screwdriver. I'm getting confused from the mixed opinions on the youtube. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 43,098 #2 Posted Monday at 06:42 PM Turn the key to on. Then use a jumper to connect the small lug on the solenoid to the + post on the battery. Disconnect the jumper as soon as it starts. If it starts, the solenoid and starter are working. The problem is in the ignition switch and /or the wiring from the battery to the switch or wiring from the switch to the solenoid. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 62,159 #4 Posted Tuesday at 12:41 AM There is a 15 amp fuse and the Amp meter between the battery and your ignition switch. If the fuse Holder is in poor condition it would reduce the voltage reaching your ignition switch. Amp meters have been known to be a problem too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
