I have an '08 TC30 with around 950 hours. I bought it last year from a dealer used. The previous owner hadn't done a lot of maintenance, but the machine is solid and has run great. Occasionally when the machine is hot, like after an hour or two of running, it didn't want to start. When it has done this, I noticed that the audible click of the fuel solenoid did not happen. I had planned on getting to this, but since it only happened when hot and I could wait for a bit and restart, I wasn't in a hurry. Yesterday it would not start when cold for the first time. The audible click of the fuel solenoid is not happening. The tractor does not crank at all. The dash lights work and I removed the key switch to test and all positions appear to function normally. The previous owner bypassed the seat switch. I purchased an owners manual for the tractor and it has a wiring diagram in it. Here it is and the components.
I am not great at wiring diagrams, but from tracing the wires on the diagram it appears that the kill relay (23) and then the safety start relay (16) get their ground from the seat safety switch timer (19). Is that correct, and does that seem like a good place to start? Any advice is welcomed.
