I have a 2000 KX-91-3 excavator, low hours . Runs great. Lately after operating for a few minutes and shutting off, it will not restart. Lights turn on at dashboard, turn ignition switch to start, and nothing. I've changed the starter, starter relay, but no change. New battery and cleaned all the ground connections. Anyone have any thoughts ?

Did you try to Direct jump the starter motor..? If that works…it’s an electrical thing for sure….perhaps the switch itself?

replace both(all ) battery power cables.
you've got 25 year old battery cables on it ???
I'll check the cables, Thanks. Next I'll check if there is a break in wire to switch.
