L4330 not cranking

[scheek]

Just purchased a 2006 L4330. Worked it all day and did fine. I stopped two or three times and re cranked. No problem. When I went back this morning and it does not crank. It will not turn over. It's as if a sensor or something will not let the switch key work.
1. Got it in Neutral
2. PTO is not ingaged.
3. Dash says tractor is in N.
4. Dash says clutch until I clutch it.
5. Only lights that remain on is the battery light and oil light.
6. Battery is fully charged with lights burning bright.
7. Oil is perfect.
8. If I touch HTS it shows on dash. I make sure it does not.

I noticed an extra wire on wiring harness by starter but not sure it goes anywhere. The main wire from battery is hooked up.

As I said the starter does not turn.

What could I be missing.

Do you have power to the starter solenoid when trying to crank it? Do you know of the solenoid is clicking at all?

Do you have to be in the seat for it start? It could be a seat sensor and that wouldn't show on the dash, but I don't know if it does or not.

It is also possible a bad connection. I have seen wires come apart inside the connection at both the battery and the starter. It may show voltage, but no amps get through, but again you should hear the solenoid changing state.

It's like everything is a go (dash lighted) and no click or anything when I complete turning the switch. NO sound. Nothing in the starter or solenoid is activated.

I was reading about a switch under seat that could go bad and someone just jumped it with a pc of wire. I haven't looked to see if I have that.

This is a 2006.

I do see an extra wire unplugged in the neighborhood of the starter but not sure if it goes anywhere. The oil sensor plug above starter is plugged in.

Check the seat switch.

Going to check this morning. Too, I think that plug might go on the solenoid.

The extra wire at the starter is just that, extra. Check the seat switch. If that checks out check all the other safety switches.

1-Check all of the fuses their are several in the start and safety circuit.

2-See if you can start it with HST pedal neutral,, PTO off,, cruise lever off,, Park brake set. Tilt seat all the way forward, Push clutch in with hand and try and start. Do not run your self over..If it starts don't let clutch out..It should not move but you never know. The seat switch has 2 ON positions OPC and PTO.

I've checked everything. Fuses, wires, battery, etc. Only wire is the extra wire at starter. Nothing loose or hanging.

I pushed plastic lever down under seat but no change. I've shifted, push clutch about everything you have mentioned.

Anymore ideas. I really hate to call a mechanic for something that might turn out to be simple.

Not sure I follow you on the tilting seat. Do you mean push down on front of seat or does it tilt up?

Kuboman said to check all safety switches. Where are they?
