Bobcat ct230
Bobcat ct230 no power anywhere. I have power at the starter, nowhere else. I have checked continunity on all the saftey switches, and all the fuses test good. No power anywhere else. Have cleaned the battery post, replaced the cable ends. Was running fine, parked it, now nothing.

How long was it parked? Mice/rodents love to chew wires. Look behind/under the fuse/relay block.

Possible there is a break in the wire or a bad connection between wire and wire ends. Can you disconnect the wire in question and check for continuity with a volt ohm meter.

Would also confirm ground from engine to frame and electrical console - dash to frame.

Depending on where you are checking voltage to ground that could also be a problem.

Where are the fusable links at? I feel like that maybe the problem, but dont know where to find them.
