In Reply to: JD STX 38 mower - turn key, it clicks but won't start. posted by Jason on Thursday, April 10, 2008:
Even more information I found out.
I took the battery out, and took out the solenoid.
When I apply 12V voltage across the top two small studs, I hear the relay clicking. I think this is OK.
I already placed an order for a refurbished Starter/Bendix Drive unit for $80. Ouch. When I took the starter motor out, I could grab the pinion and power the starter and it wouldn't do anything other than making grinding noise. I guess the one way bearing is done for.
Problem is, I can't get 12V power across the starter terminal when I turn the ignition key, even when the starter is out.
Questions
1. Where is the 2Amp fuse?
2. Why are there "headlight" harness shown in the part diagram? And Where is that headlight harness?
3. How many little hidden switches that needs to be closed in order for the starter to receive the 12V power??? There is a seat switch, Neutral switch, break switch, and what else?
