2021 LS MT347 MEC
I have a 2021 MT347 Cab tractor with 1500 hours. Shut down in the afternoon after cutting hay. Tried to start up after a few days and all accessories came on but no start. Console indication of 0.0 Volts as in picture attached. I have checked every fuse I can find by removing and testing with continuity meter. Also checked across fuses for open fuses. Disconnected the battery overnight and connected a different battery in it's place. Removed and cleaned the two main fuses by the starter checked for voltage downstream after replacing. Still no start. Any thoughts?

How about the main 100Amp fuse at the + post? Ground clean at both ends? Both can cause voltage problems if resistance from corrosion.

My XR4150 did the same thing until I replaced the battery cables/main fuse set-up. I used Milspec terminals/#2 Copper Welding cable/closed copper lugs/dielectric grease/heat shrink/and ANL 100 amp fuse block to replace everything. Had similar situation as you & in my case it was due to corrosion at the 100 amp main fuse & the wonky set-up LS uses on their +cable.

Thanks, alexpops the information. I'll try changing the cable setup.

Update:
Back in business. Problem solved. Found a broken wire on the Main relay coil going to the ECU. Spliced in a new wire all is good. Thanks, alexpops for your help pointing out the grounding issue. It stirred the old brain cells to check the grounding system.

Good for you & congratulations. For what it's worth ... the LS's are notorious for lousy ground connections & some bad battery cables (internal corrosion problems). So... keep that in the back of your mind anytime the tractor starts acting weird.
