Today, I was in the process of wiring in work lights on the front and rear of the canopy on my L3400. Somewhere along the process, I discovered that the engine won't fire. It turns over great. I checked all the fuses however noticed that before, when I turned the key on there was a distinct "click" and the glow plug indicator was on. Now, no glow plug indicator light comes on and no click. I also noticed that the seat safety switch doesn't click when moved up and down. Would the seat switch cause this? Stumped....

I had the same problem with my bx it happened a couple of different times. Check to make sure that you didnt bump the pto lever and all so the seat switch move it up and down a few times by hand.

I checked the PTO lever and moved the seat switch up and down. Is the seat switch supposed to make a clicking sound? I thought I remembered it did, now it doesn't.

found the issue! I put the fuse in the wrong slot. Sometimes I wonder how I lived this long being such an airhead.....Thanks!
