My exmark quest has what I feel is a poor wiring harness design. My mower is 6 years old and the wiring harness has been replaced 6 times. Every spring. It is showing all the symptoms it shows every time the wiring harness goes bad. The symptoms are: It is hard to start, It get intermittent firing to the starter. (Sometimes when you turn the key the starter will not spin but other times it will) when you do get it started when you move the control arms in the motor will shut off. When you engage the PTO the blades will not spin. (You can hear and feel the clutch engage but it will not spin the blades) I do store the mower outside but I keep it covered with a cover. This happens so often I is almost like routine every year. I do know there was a recall on this but after the recall was replaced it is still dong the same thing. The dealer is charging me so much to fix this I am gong to do it myself this time.
Question: Do I buy just the wiring harness or do I need to buy a control box that the wiring harness connects to also? What else do I need to know before I start this job?
