Been trying to figure this out for a few days. First, new battery this spring, seems fine - 12.8 volts. Turn key switch on, two lights very dim, tach is blinking with no hour reading. I've tested all the limit/safety switches except the HST which is next (using the service manual I downloaded to trouble shoot) They were all fine. Turn key to try and start and battery voltage is good, which I hope means the "new" battery isn't the problem. The only weird thing that has happened is that the timer relay is making some noise and after turning key on and back off it buzzes for about 5-10 seconds. I've reviewed all the electrical diagrams and can't figure out any issues. Fuses good, voltage at starter and alternator all show good voltage, grounds seem secure to the tractor frame. Can't find any frayed wires on the harness anywhere, nothing.... First day of troubleshooting I thought it was the key switch, so I put a new one in and same results. I can understand not starting if it the HST switch, fuel relay or something, but I'm not even getting proper lights on dash. Any other ideas? Thanks.
