M9000 clicks won’t turn over

If your M9000 only clicks, won’t turn over,this is the problem. Starter relay located at front of tractor on the left. After bypassing both safety circuits and replacing all the relays under the dash, this was it. It would be nice if the parts manual listed ALL the relays in 1 section. Spent 700$ on relays and fuel solenoid before I got to this. Hope this helps someone.

I’m sorry this was posted so-late into the problem discovery/repair sequence. If you’d found my earlier post and thread… it might have been helpful… it cost me less than $13…. be certain to read the ENTIRE thread …to the solution at post # 6.. :

This solution was in May ‘21… and that cheap automotive relay is still working perfectly!

The WSM point to exactly what really you would have needed to work with.

Yep, a WSM would have saved you about $680.00.

The shotgun repair process does work, it just gets expensive as you have proven again. Hopefully next time you get a WSM or find someone that can diagnose it for you. Also you now have reinforced the blue car system(the last blue car didn't start due to a bad relay so this car is also blue so I better replace that relay).
