Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mike10" data-source="post: 62173" data-attributes="member: 5461">While there are relays on the circuit board that is not where you need to start.  I would suspect a seat switch, seat belt switch, or seat harness first. When it does not start do you flip the service/run switch to the service postion to see if it starts?  When it clicks is there just one click or a rapid clicking?First thing is as you sit in the seat, with the key off, look at the instrument panel and see if it lights up for it's self check.  If not you have a seat switch or seat harness problem.If the lights come on when you sit in the seat, then fasten the seat belt.  Does the seat belt light go out on the instrument panel.  If not the seat belt buckle is bad or the seat harness.If the light goes out then you will need some one to help you check further.  On the NH machines and probably on the JD machines there are two solenoids, relays, under the engine fuse panel.  On the NH machines it is the left one that is the relay for the starter.  I think JD has the panel turned 90 degrees so it probably is the rear one.  Remove the plastic cover from the relay and see if you have power at one of the small terminals of the relay when the key is turned to start.  If you have power at the small terminal then check if you have power at both the large terminals when the key is turned to the start positon.  If both large posts have power then you have a starter problem. If the starter is the problem you still have an issue with the seat circuit since when you sit back into the seat and buckle the seat belt the starter circuit has no relation to seat circuit.</blockquote>
