[QUOTE=datrilli1;174499] It turns out, after replacing both relays, the ignition, and 2 fuel stop solenoids that the wires in the pipe under the seat were damaged.This is why it was so hard to figure out. Thank you all for your help. [/QUOTE]

I know this is an old posting, but I am having the exact same problem with my 2003 Gator 6X4 diesel. I just smoked a new fuel solenoid, after replacing the orginal. I was wondering if you could describe in more detail what you found in the wiring harness and where to fix the problem. Was it the purple wire for starting shorting to 12v somewhere? Did the starter also run when this happened? Or was it near the engine and the white wire that powered the pull in part of the fuel solenoid?

Thanks,
Ken

I have a 2003 TH 6X4 Diesel gator. I replaced the glow plugs and relay, started and ran great until last week.<br>
<br>
The fuel solenoid smoked. I replace the solenoid and the battery. Started and ran for a day, then smoked as a started it the next day and put into gear.<br>
<br>
Both times, when the fuel solenoid went out, it smoked a lot. It also happened both times as I put it into forward. It kept running, but wouldn't start after I shut it off. I'm sure the pull out portion of the solenoid is fried, but can't figure out why.<br>
<br>
The yellow wires from the differential switch are warm to the touch, which seems odd. If I unplug the solenoid connector, the wires don't get hot.<br>
<br>
Any ideas?
