Kubota BX2230 won't shut off

[smittyjones]

Hey all, I have a BX2230, it runs great in every way, but it won't shut off. When I turn the key, gauges go to zero, but it keeps running. This all started when I'm a dummy and accidentally shorted the aux power wires under the seat.

Solenoid fuse is good, swapped it with the extra to check even. Timer relay is good (neighbor has the exact same tractor, so I switched with his to check), still doesn't shut off. If I apply power to the shutoff solenoid, it shuts off.

It also doesn't shut off when I stand up in gear or with the PTO running, when it should. I checked the seat sensors and they were good.

Any advice?

So w key switch in off position do you power at the shutoff solenoid? Do you think that solenoid is powered the whole time the tractor is shut off? Did you repair the wires imunder the seat? Have you checked the key switch in and out terminals for proper function?

So I'm an idiot. For some reason I didn't check all of the fuses, "work light" is the fuse for that auxiliary output under the seat, and it blew that fuse. I guess power goes through the work light fuse and the solenoid fuse to actuate the solenoid.

But no, there was no power at the solenoid ever. The wires didn't need repairing, just the nut behind the wheel. I accidentally wired a pet project wrong and shorted it.
