CNC 10 #1 Posted yesterday at 08:02 PM I have been using the horse for the last 3 or 4 months everything worked fine until a few days ago. I stared it up pulled it outside it started as usual, when I went back a few hours later it would not start ( engine would not turn over,no noise from solenoid nothing). I push the dead horse back into the garage and changed out the solenoid and battery from my other wheel horse ranger. Still nothing so I said must be the 2 safety switches. Pulled them off one of the brake switch wires was broken ( that must be the problem!) clean both switches and replaced with new wires. I reinstall everything still nothing. No noise engine will not turn over. Can anyone give me some suggestions on what to do next. I hope the ole c160 horse is not ready for the pasture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,770 #2 Posted yesterday at 08:31 PM Follow the red wire from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid. It should have power with the ignition switch in the START position. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike'sHorseBarn 3,361 #9 Posted 9 hours ago Electrical problems are the worst.........they can very easily send you on a wild goose chase. Like squonk said check the ammeter. I'd also try bypassing the safety switches. If it starts, you know at least one of them is the issue and can connect them again one at a time until you find the bad one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
