Okay so lately my mower will start up fine and run and then it won't start..Every time it starts it runs and mows great. My question is this evening I found that on the back of the ignition switch where the harness plugs in to switch the Pinkish/Red wire isn't staying in the slot tightly,meaning it easily slides and pulls right out the backofharness? Could this be a culprit? TIA

That should going the "B" terminal and is the main power to the switch. Yes it needs replacing with a new terminal. Being will cause intermittent power the rest of the mower.

Well if believe the OEM then it is whole harness. More money for them.

But i regularly replace the terminals and even the housings. All you is a pair wire cutters, the terminal, and the open barrel crimper. And may a pick to remove the old terminal.

Delphi and Packard are couple older names.

It should a 16-14 ga wire. Google up using PN 2965867-L.
