Kubota L2900 Won't Start

[Brad602]

Kubota L2900 won't start. Worked fine a couple of weeks ago, when last used. Emergency flashers work fine, but the headlights do not work at all. Nothing lights up on dash when turned to the on position. Charging battery make no difference. There is no noise whatsoever from the starter when put in the start position. Seems like it might be a safety interlock but all attempts to wiggle the shifter to be sure it is in neutral or wiggle the PTO switch produce nothing. If it is a bid ignition switch how do I test it? Any other ideas as to what may be the cause? Brad602

Check the main fuse...
It is in the wiring near the starter, it is an oversized bladed fuse.

I checked them all. All were good.

Are all the fuzes in one place? I assumed they were.

I looked near the starter and there was a 40A fuse inline. Checked it with meter, it is good.

Sounds like a bad starter.

I am still learning how to use this website.....

Thanks for your time Jimmy and KennyV. Based on your ideas I kept fishing around the wiring (electrical system) because it seemed like an electrical problem. It was the ignition switch. Thanks again guys. Brad602

Thanks for posting back Brad..
There are some that would have just left their post hanging ...
There is no troubleshooting tool more valuable than a good volt ohm meter, the more you use it, the handier it becomes...
