Bobcat CT335
I know this is a Kioti forum but my Bobcat is just a white Kioti. Hopefully you can help.
I have no power at all. Nothing works. No lights, etc. Battery is good & connected. No click when key is turned. All fuses are good. Bad switch relay? How do I check the relays? What else might it be?
Thanks,
Ray

Check for voltage at the starter end of the positive battery cable. They are junk cables.

by the way when you make that measurement, turn on the lights and leave them on, you want an attempted current draw across the cable before you take your voltage measurement so if it is just and extremely high resistance in the cable (common with corrosion) there will be a massive voltage drop when current is drawn (E=IR) so you will get a more accurate reading.

Example: If you places a very high value resistor in line with one of your digital voltmeter leads and measured across a good battery, you would read the same battery voltage as on the posts, yet it would not be able to power much if any kind of load. Does this make sense?

Also check and clean the ground cable where it bolts to the frame.
A bad ground can have the same symptoms.

There are 2 relays on the left side fire wall when your facing the tractor switch them around and see if it starts.

There is a 60 amp inline fuse taped to the wire bundle near the starter. If everything (including the emergency flashers) is dead, check that fuse. Battery cables are a possibility but the fuse is more likely if the battery is OK and everything is dead.
