Issues starting the engine

Recommended Posts

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!!!

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.

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.
