520H Won't start - won't even 'click

[Chuck14025 9]

 

 

NEW INFORMATION

1. Cleaned all wiring, etc. turned key engine, STARTED right up.

2. Shut it down, tried to RESTART - not even a click. TOTALLY DEAD.

3. 12.7 volts on the battery. Tested all 3 relays - they all behave the same.

4. Connections tight. Solenoid works. Starter works.

5. HOT wire from battery + to starter solenoid where the Light Blue wire attaches - STARTS RIGHT UP. 

 

QUESTION IS: Why isn't the Light Blue wire to the solenoid not being energized? What are the possible scenarios?

 

1. Intermittent operation of the key switch?

2. An opening on the coil side of the electric circuit? 

3. Other possibilities. 

 

Thanks for the help.  Coffee and donuts are ready.

Safety switches and ignition switch are good place start.  Download the demystification guide in the manuals section.

Did you actually take the 9 pin connector apart and thoroughly clean the connections. Muffler heat destroys those molex connectors.
