2015 Mpower 85 won't start

Hayboy83 · Jul 17, 2018

I replaced the battery and the two 60a fuses and nothing. Won't turn, dash lights won't come on, nothing. Any ideas would be great.

I'd check the ignition switch, and re-check your battery cables. Since you just changed the battery, I'd check to see if it's charged up (I'm sure you did, but just in case) May have a bad ground, or corrosion in a spot you didn't check. I recently found some corrosion in places I hadn't planned on in secondary connections. (not on top of the battery, but where other accessories "tie in" to the elec system.

Good luck and keep us posted !

Cables off battery and to the starter.

Why did you replace the fuses? Were they blown?

Hayboy83 · Jul 17, 2018

check the ground cable and it doesn't look corroded. It was hard to tell whether the fuses where blown, the copper on the old ones looked really dark so I was hoping it was a cheap fix. i think the CB radio was left on. I had to work on other stuff so I'll try looking at starter in the morning. thanks yall

Multiple Mahindra folks have complained of mystery non start type issues and found the battery cables were corroded internally. May said they looked fine. Not trying to second guess you- just relaying what I’ve seen hanging out in the Mahindra forum.

Sometimes a cheap probe, with the light bulb in the clear plastic handle can diagnose stuff like this better than a high impedance digital meter. Since the bulb draws a bit of power and you can gauge by the brightness of the bulb, the resistance of the circuit.

no power to switch, power to starter but that's it.

Ground?

Hayboy83 · Jul 19, 2018

ground connection is really good, I think it's some type of relay. I got 33 acres that needs to be baled which I can do everything with my 2565 but now that one has a check engine light. I had to come back home so I'll try to load up the Mahindra Mpower 85 to bring it to the dealer next week. not a very productive three days at the ranch.
