So my tractor has been doing well and I had just finished mowing and everything was working well. I turned it off while I did some other things. When I came back to it to start it and put it in the barn, I turned the key part way, the lights lit up but when I turned to start it, I heard one loud click and all the lights turned off...nothing lit up at all and no start. I have had this happen before and thought it was the battery cable connections so I cleaned everything up, applied the dielectric grease, checked the battery voltage (12.8 across the terminals) and tried again. This time no click, no instrument lights, nothing at all. I would think with a starter/solenoid problem that I would still have dashboard lights or if it was the neutral safety switch the same thing. It makes me feel that this is either the ignition switch, the fuses, or some other relay between the ignition and the battery. I am going to check the fuses on the right firewall as soon as I can but if that is not it then I don't know what to do. I removed the battery negative ground and cleaned it also but it made no difference. I am not much of a mechanic just to warn you so stuff like hot wiring or jumping the starter from the battery might need some details about how to do it
Thanks in advance.
