I was using my CK30 yesterday and stopped it for a brief time (I thought). When I tried to restart it had no dash lights, no lights, no start, nothing. If I put on turn signals or emergency signals I get rapid clicking from the relay but nothing else. I've checked battery, cleaned terminals, all fuses are good including the 60 amp. I also, checked the clutch switch, tightened the ground and positive on the starter. I've tested the main switch with ohm meter and it is good. I get 12 volts through the switch but nothing to the dash. Don't know if the stop switch (at the brake) could do this? Anyone have any ideas?

There are 2 relays on the fire wall this is a shot in the dark but put a finger on them ( maybe feel them activate ) and listen for a click when you turn the key on. Best of luck.

Pop the hood and they’re on your left, or in line with the throttle lever, if you could look through them. Tap them lightly and try to start the tractor. It may be easier if someone taps and another person sits in the seat to try to start it. I replaced both recently with similar recurring issues and now have gone months without problems. See my thread just below this one. Update-Second time key switch…

Pic may help if that's the problem. The first thing I did was interchange them, the tractor started so I knew the problem was isolated.
Owned the tractor another six yrs. with no problem.

Pack of 10 relays with higher amp capacity than OEM:
Thanks for your suggestions. I tried tapping on them and nothing. I also took them out and cleaned the contacts. I realize now I am getting a click occasionally from a relay on the other side of the firewall but that's it.
I also check the voltage on the B+ side of the starter relay and it was 12.8 volts so I tried turning the key switch to on and putting a screwdriver across the B+ to GRND on the starter relay but nothing. Then I checked the voltage of the B+ with the switch to on and it is only 2 volts. I'm going to get the battery tested again in case it isn't good under a load.

Inter change the 2 , cleaning the contacts won't help if it's bad.
Interesting that mine doesn't have the same layout. I have one relay where your 3 are and another one on the other side and another one down below. I'll try swapping to see what happens and let you know. I did have the battery checked again somewhere else and it is definitely good.
