Just a bump, anyone know where to buy an after-market safety controller for a TC30?

I did this modification, and unfortunately it did not solve the problem.

I believe now you are correct. I was confused, because I had the safety controller dismounted from the firewall, in a attempt to unplug/reseat the connector, thinking the safety controller is causing the no-start condition. In that effort, I had to dismount that black shrouded connector, which...

3x9 manual.

2008 TC30: Anyone know to what/where this connector goes? (see blue arrow) I found it hanging loose on the right side of the engine compartment, close to the firewall, and below the safety controller. Thanks.

I replaced the key switch with new. Still no glo-plug light comes on, and fuel solenoid does not click. Have previously checked the solenoid, and it is good. Have checked and rechecked all 4 safety switches, still no start, no glo-plug light and no fuel solenoid click. Starter, (+) cable...

I again suspect the key switch is faulty and not providing power to the glo-plugs. I know for sure that it does not supply power to the (+) terminal of the fuel solenoid (I checked with a VOM). And, when I turn the key switch to Run or Start, there is no "clicking" sound from the fuel...

Yes, my TC-30 is a diesel. Yes, please take a picture and post it. Thanks, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for your post. I am not married to factory OEM wiring/components. Safety switches are easy to bypass when necessary, so I don't mind keeping them in place. I prefer simplicity, and seriously suspect the electronic safety controller.

Follow-up: 6+ months and still no start. I purchased a new battery. I disconnect it when not working on the tractor for longer periods of time, so not to be a victim of parasitic drain. I also keep a battery tender on it so not to discharge a brand new battery. Voltage seems good when I...

Been a while, still wondering the outcome of this, and if a safety controller can be had for something less that NH extortion prices.

Just wondering what the outcome of this was?

UPDATE: Ohms checked all safety switches. All are working. Placed jumpers on all four anyway. No change (no start). Bypassed first the negative battery cable by disconnecting it, and then adding my own separate cable from neg. terminal post to frame ground. Ohms tested perfect. No start...

Did not check neutral and PTO switches, but... PTO switch seemed to be working because dash PTO light comes on when engaged and off when disengaged. Both PTO and neutral switches visually checked perfect. No damage, tampering, or disturbance of any kind, and also rubber dust covers where in...

It started 1 time with the battery charger on it, but would not start again. It does not start every time when jumped. I had 12.5+ volts at the starter solenoid. I checked the seat and brake switches with an ohm meter, seems to be working fine. Just checked the fusible link wire, and it is...
