Correct ignition switch

[Rick8814 0]

Hello all! Can any one help me with the correct switch and terminal letters? 1998 toro wheel horse 312-8. Model number 73428 serial number 8900839. I tried the switch in the parts manual. But didn't fix the issue. Won't start. Can't get the kill relay to energize, and no power to small blue wire on the solenoid. I tested the solenoid as per the electrical manual and its good. I messed up some where because when I turn the key the first 10 amp fuse blows. Any help much appreciated Rick

This should help. Click on the picture in the link for more

Are you looking at the 5 pages of colored wiring?

Can you give us a bit of background on what led you to replacing the ignition switch?

What if anything did you do prior to changing the ignition switch that could have impacted your electrical wiring?

Is the switch you bought the one Gary has given you information on?

The drawing below shows all of the components that come into play when the key is turned to START.

I do not own this model but suspect that the Neutral Safety Switch is located on the metal plate the shift lever comes through. Examine the wiring to that switch first.

A pinched wire could be grounding out causing the fuse to blow. Check all of the wiring anyplace close to any work that has been done.

Good luck and let us know what you find.

Thanks guys! I got this 312-8 from a friend who was just jumping it across the solenoid. I didn't want that. So I started replacing all electric components. Still nothing. So I started researching and eliminating stuff. It comes down to the kill relay not energizing in the start circuit. New relay is good I checked it with the other relays. I bypassed all switches even though I replaced every one except the seat switch which I bypassed. Ill look at these new schematics and see if I can get a clue. Thanks so much Rick
