Start Help Needed - Wiring Schematics

Crimsonred04GT · #1 08-14-2016, 11:18 PM

I was mowing my back field the other day with my SLT1554 and I stalled it due to high/wet grass clogging the deck. When I went to restart, it bumped the engine then nothing. I now have no power whatsoever when key is turned to on position. No lights and no indication of any power. There is nothing wrong with the battery (almost 13 volts) and I even tried jump starting but still no power to anything when key in on position. I checked the 20amp & 5amp fuse in the wiring harness and they are good. Checked for voltage to the key switch at the wire connector and have no voltage to it. I do however have 12+ volts going to the wire connector for the reverse safety switch connector above the key switch. I've checked what manual PDF's I have and none have a wiring schematic for me to trace further throughout the wiring system. Anyone know where I can obtain a wiring schematic for a 2007 SLT1554 CC? Anyone else familiar with this issue occurring and or what may be causing no power to get to the ignition switch? Oh, I did check for voltage to the relay at the connector and I have no voltage there either.

Awesome !!! I really appreciate the info. Really not sure why it stopped other than something is shorted/faulted out. Thinking my switch assembly is bad. Hope to clear it up so I can get back to my waist high grass mowing.....

It probably just lost battery connection. Did you check that? Clean the battery connections, make sure the PTO is off and try again.

The SLT1554 isn't exactly a bush hog... Maybe you should reconsider using it as such.

After briefly reading through the pages, I'm definitely going to have to perform several of the tests. Was hoping something would stand out as to the possible fault. I do know the reverse module hasn't worked in a couple years. The mower blades would stay on when reversing and the key just in the standard run position. Kind of nice that it worked than way. This spring the motor kept running a few seconds after the key was placed in the stop position when I'd shut it down. Reading some of the info and knowing I already have these two issues, I know for certain I'm in need of a RMC/Ignition switch assembly. Now with the pages printed out, I can head on to trying to figure out exactly what the no power even to the lights issue is.

I still think it lost connection at the battery......

Make sure you tell us what you find.

Battery connections and all are good and I've definitely made sure the PTO switch was off. Will take a further look at the cables to the battery in the event something happened to the wires to the terminals.

Bush Hogging is a little rough on her but she's done it before when needed. Hate having to treat it that way but working long shifts, our grass so wet all the time from humidity and this almost daily rain for over a month has caused my field to grow real high. Really do need a large tractor and bush hog but funds and spouse separation/probable divorce has really put a damper on any large purchases. I do love that my SLT1554 has been such a little beast when needed though....

Will make sure I post the results once I determine the cause. Hope it is just the battery connections. I have had the issue before as a result of a battery terminal cracking off though that's not it this time. Made sure the connections were tight before walking to the garage to get my cables and ATV. Got my fingers crossed and will
