We seem to have an electrical problem! Help please!<br>
<br>
It all began when I was lowering the mower over a clump of Canadian thistle. The engine suddenly stopped. I tried to restart, but only heard a clicking noise each time I engaged the key. I observed some sparking around the starter contacts. <br>
<br>
So, I contacted my Jinma dealer who lives thirty miles away, then I went and got a new starter. When I put the new starter is in, nothing happened, no indication of life! No juice coming in to the instrument panel, including when I tried to jump start. Then I took the battery to NAPA for a test, which showed the battery to be borderline, so now I have a new battery installed. <br>
<br>
There is a full voltage reading with a multimeter at the poles of the new starter, except the small pole with red wire does not show any voltage at all, either with the key on or off. I pulled the key switch which seems to have continuity between one pole and two others with the multi meter when turned to the first position, with 4th pole signalling continuity on the full turn of the key.<br>
<br>
I checked the little plastic fuses, one 30A, maybe two 20A, and the rest 15 & 10 A.<br>
<br>
Is there a possibility it is one of the other components there in the vicinity of the fuse box that could have an issue? Is there another fuse I�m missing, or a test to try to narrow things down to the problem?<br>
<br>
The owner�s manuel that came with the tractor is useless. I couldn�t find any info online related to this issue.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help you can offer. We�d sure like to get the thing going soon...<br>
