2003 TC30 Won't Start

[Harry in Ky]

The starter has a ground wire? Can you elaborate a little on that?

Good day folks,

Blue wouldn't start for me today. I call her Blue on account of her color...lol!

Hope you don't mind me running this by you before I go down the part buying trail. I suspect it is the ignition switch but at $300 per unit want some more assurances before ordering. Am I missing anything in your opinion?

Thanks in advance for your help and interest!

This is what I've done.

1) Tested continuity between starter engage pin on switch with starter connector - Good.
2) Engaged glow plug. Illustrated good on dash.
3) Positioned key in run position. Illustrated good on dash.
4) tested voltage in run position, good. On glow plug position, good. When I move the key to start position, I LOSE VOLTAGE.
5) the seat safety switch is disconnected and shorted out to make a closed circuit. Been this way for years.

Also it appears this switch part number is dependent on the PIN of the tractor. I have looked on the tractor and online for the PIN but can't find it. If anyone knows of this please pass it along.

Thanks again and cheers, Greg.

I had the same problem with my 2000 tc29d. It turned out to be that the ignition switch was loose and instead of going all the way to the start position it stopped short.
