ZG227 blowing fuse/then won’t do anything

[Jorge]

Guys I have a 2013 ZG227. When trying to start the engine after it has been shut off, it is blowing one of the 15 amp fuses under the seat. I have tested every safety switch, changed the ignition switch and had the starter reworked. It ran fine for about three mowings. While mowing today it shut off and will not do anything when I try to start it. Turn the key on and hear the fuel pump but then nothing. Also had to unplug the wires off of the coils to get it to start up.

check all wiring for breaks and contact with metal ground (frame, around the engine area, around the control arms, etc.

Also I've seen a fuel pump die and cause excessive amp draw, causing fuse to fail. But I wouldn't condemn the pump until you're sure that it's the issue as they are pricey.

What Lugbolt said. If you don't own and know how to use a multimeter,buy one and have someone show you how a multimeter is used to troubleshoot problems like this. I can't troubleshoot my own stuff without using a meter,it's wishful thinking to belive I can troubleshoot yours unless you give me meter readings.
