I have the same problem how can I fix this problem I replace the solenoid and starter and battery still same??? Thank you
The solenoid starter & battery that you did not need is about twice the price of the Technical manual that you do need so go to the JD web page and buy one
Find your wiring diagram and print it out as large as you can so it is easy to see in your workshop.
The manual has step by step trouble shooting tells you what to test, where that part , wire , plug is and how to test it .
JD's can be a problem as they like to fit fuseable links ( fancy name for a wire that is only just able to carry the current before burning out ) in place of and some times even with standard blade fuses.
I don't have an X series manual because I am yet to service one.
However, general principles apply
Start at the battery and check the terminals are connected the correct way round.
Then clean both the power & the ground cables at both ends also making sure that the surface the cables bolt to is clean and the fasteners are tight
The power cable generally shares one terminal of the solenoid with the power feed to the mower.
A common mistake is to fit the thin wire with a ring terminal to the starter motor side so it can not supply power to the mower.
This thinner wire usually has a fuse on it then goes to the B ( Battery ) terminal on the key switch the letters are on the back of the switch.
If there is power to the key switch then the hour meter & lights should work. Also the solenoid on the carb should make a quiet click when the key is turned on.
