Hello everyone, I hope you can give me some ideas where to start. Mower ran normally yesterday, today nothing. Turn the key and nada. Checked the battery and it is at 100% with no corrosion. Have spark to the starter coil, touched by accident. Checked fuses and all look good. Where should I start? Not the best mechanic but I can muddle through most things.

Thanks everyone,

Kirkl

Start with the normal stuff. PTO off, break on, and trans in neutral.

Nothing at all. No attempt to even turn over, just hear a click at the solenoid

Chuck, so here is what I have assessed today. Voltage at battery and both terminals on started reads 12.5+ . When checking voltage to fuses all were over 12 except the third one over from the left. Any thoughts?

Fuse may be bad but your voltage should be 13 or better. Charge battery and check fuse.

Did you get it going?

My Ferris has an issue with the seat safety switch getting out of position / loose in the bracket and creates a no start condition. Happened three times now in two years.
