L3010 Start Problem

[fishpredator07]

Long story short, I can jump the starter and start the tractor. What I can't do is isolate where the fault is yet. Think I have a problem with the black wire with white stripe from the back of the ignition switch to the starter.

I can get continuity from the connector attached to the starter relay down to the starter. I can't get continuity from the connector behind the dash connected to the ignition switch to the the connector at the starter relay or the starter.

Questions:
Obviously, what lies between?
Anyone have a readable wiring diagram? Not the one from the parts manual. I have that, and its just not suitably detailed of the areas I'm concerned about.
How many relays between ignition and starter?

Thanks,
J

Thanks Mingy, it helped although I think at this point I'm over my head electronically. I still think its a simple problem, but isolating is a pain. I've called in an "expert", let you know later this week how it goes.

Keep us up to date - I find vehicle schematics to be really bizarre. They only make sense once you've figured out whats wrong!

I didn't offer a diagnosis, just helped with a diagram.

Wiring fault in the harness behind the panel under the seat. Couldn't see it from under or behind the tractor. Once the panel was off, I could see the damage to the wire. Was no bargain getting the handle off the 3-point drop adjust to get the panel off. Thank goodness that's over.

Thanks for the hand, Mingy.

Sounds like a PITA, but it must be nice to have a working tractor!

Do you fix it, or did you send it to the shop?
