I've got a JD 355 diesel mower and amongst its many problems, there are now no dashboard lights when you turn the ignition key. Needless to say, it won't start, but that I can fix later.
The battery has 12.5 volts and the headlights work.
I've traced power to the ignition switch, turn the key on one position and you get power on the 2nd red wire which goes to the ignition control module thing. There are a 2 more wires connected to the ignition switch, yellow and white, and they never have any power to them. There are two 15 amp fuses on the control module and they both have approx. 12.3 volts on both sides.
In the maze of wiring at the control module there are two red removable plug things each on two wires - no power to these either.
I'm a bit stumped for what to do next, nothing is obviously chewed or damaged.
Any ideas or advice apart from teaching it a permanent lesson with a 10b sledge hammer?
Cheers.
