Ct445 won’t start update

Ct445 starter update

Changed out the starter on my ct445 because tractor wouldn’t start dealer thought starter was bad. After new starter tractor still won’t start. Noticed a blown fuse for the fuel relay and replaced. Turn key to the accessory and fuse blows immediately. Checked relay to make sure it was clicking and it does. Took fuel solenoid off and held rod down the turned the key to accessory and it will hold the rod in but still blows the fuse immediately. Could the relay still be bad if it clicks or is it the solenoid

So unplug the solenoid. Replace the fuse and try it again. If the the fuse blows without the solenoid connected then the solenoid is not the problem. Look elsewhere.
