Z225

[Ken Hopkins]

Wont start, no electrical power. Changed ignition switch. checked fuses. battery good. cables good. plug good.
Suggestions?

Check whatever safety switches are present. Seat, pto (blades), and L/R neutral position switches.

I have a Z225. It won't start unless the parking brake is on and the PTO switch is off. The safety switch on the seat on mine is jumpered, but I think you also have to be sitting in the seat unless you bypass the seat switch. So check those three safeties.

Thanks, Checked all those prior to my original post.

Are all the pigtails that connect to the switches firmly in place? I have noticed that my PTO switch has to be firmly in the off position to start mine. If it isn't fully in the off position, no start.

I assume that it isn't cranking? I tend to start at the solenoid and see what I've got at the trigger wire / ground. You will want to inspect the harness connector at the PTO and key switches for burned / broken terminals.

Thanks Tomplum, will do. it is not cranking

Yes PTO fully in off position.

Thanks I'll go over those again, may have missed something.
