Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mike10" data-source="post: 43662" data-attributes="member: 5461"><p>Start with doing a voltage drop test at the battery. Using a voltmeter attach one probe to the positive termianal and the other to the negative termianal. You should have @ 12.3 to 12.5 volts. Less than that and the battery charge is low. With the voltmeter still attached have someone attempt to start the engine while you watch the voltmeter. If the voltage does not drop or drops slightly the battery is good. If the battery appears to be good then remove the negative voltmeter probe from the battery and attach it to a good ground on the machine. Again you should see battery voltage in the 12.3 to 12.5 range. Now have someone attempt to start the engine again. If the voltage drops significantly than you have bad connections probably at the battery. If the battery voltage only drops slightly than you can assume the battery and connections are good. Move to the other side on the loader engine compartment and locate the engine fuse and relay box. Directly below the fuse and relay box you will see two plastic covers sticking out. These covers have relays under them. The cover next to the side panel is the start relay. Remove the plastic cover from the relay. Use your voltmeter and check that you have battery voltage at one of the large terminals. If you have battery voltage attach your probe to the other large post and have someone attempt to start the engine. If you have battery voltage at the large terminal than you have a problem at the starter. If you do not have battery voltage attach you voltmeter to one of the small termianls of the relay, not the one with the black wires, and again attempt to start the engine. If you have power at the small terminal than the problem is with the relay. If you do not have power at the small terminal than you have switch or wiring problems.</p></blockquote><p></p>
