DK35se
Hello, thought I started a thread a few days ago but could find it. My 2008 Kioti dk35se (did) cranks but won’t start, was running fine. I’ve read through many of your other threads and replaced the engine stop relay. Nothing. I swapped the new relay with the starter relay and it cranked. I can hear and feel the starter solenoid click. No action on the engine stop solenoid. Now it won’t even crank. The battery tests fine. The ignition switch has been wonky for a while, will this cause the engine stop relay to not work?

Welcome to TBN. I would start looking at all the grounds and connectors. Loosen them, inspect the cables and retighten.

FYI: "troubleshooting" is one one word. I'm a pretty fair shot (with a pistol or rifle), but I'd have trouble shooting a tractor for not starting... :LOL:

I checked the grounds that I know about, the tractor cranks. I just replaced the engine shut off solenoid. There’s no smoke coming from the exhaust but the wire harness to the engine shut off solenoid has power. The fuse for the engine shut off solenoid was blown, replaced it.
Are there other grounds I should check?
What do the relays under the dash control?

What do the relays under the dash control? The engine won’t crank with the pto switches turned on, so I figure that’s working, I guess

I tested the old engine stop solenoid with a 12v car battery and it cycles in and out. Where is the electric drain? Can I jump it? Could this be ignition switch related?

Also checked the fuel lines, they are clear

By the by my 2017 new Holland work master 60 with 3000 hrs has also quit, showing STOP symbol and oil symbol. I rely on tractors, chainsaws and my truck to make a living, losing my marble, the local dealer is a bunch of pirates. Cleared the codes and got the new holland to run but it quits and I don’t want to mess with it anymore. A lemon from the start

I must say I really appreciate the stuff I’ve learned on this forum as well as diesel forum over the years

The fuel solenoid relay is under the hood by the fuel tank on my 2010 DK45. Id assume yours is the same.

You should hear the relay click when you turn key on (but dont start)
