I have been having intermittent problems with starting, usually solved by turning the ignition off and back on. Today, I stopped mowing to get a warmer sweatshirt and when I got back on the tractor it wouldn't do anything. All fuses are good, including the 60a main.
When I turn the key to ACC, there is a fairly high pitched anemic sounding buzz from what sounds like under the instrument panel. Nothing will work in this switch postion - lights etc. When I rotate the switch past ACC to run - glow - start, nothing happens including the buzzing stops. Battery is almost new but I put a jumper to my truck just to eliminate the possibility of a bat battery. In the trouble shooting guide, the next thing to check is the ignition switch. I tried WD-40 on it because I know that has worked for some people.
My current problem is that I don't see how to check the switch. I can see the plug but not reach it by removing the center panel below the wheel. How do you remove the switch so you can get a meter on it? I don't want to just clamp vice grips on it, there must be a technique that I don't know.
