    Hi,

    My mechanic has troublshooted relays, battery, everything possible and the Workman won´t start with key. It will only hotwire with external battery direct to starter, at no other point. Toro are checking for him. There are security sensors in the clutch pedal and lift for dumper. It seems to be down to these two sensors or ignition.

    Has anyone had any experience like this? We have two the same. I will see how difficult it is to switch over one at a time.

    Thanks

    Check the 10 amp engine fuse (F1), check fusible links, check clutch switch. Does this unit have high flow kit? If so make sure the switch is off for that.

    I would voltage drop test the wires coming from the key switch, starting with the start wire that runs to the start probe on the solenoid. Then I would check my ignition wire coming off the key switch to see if it has power. I would run VDT, on the entire run circuit. If you feel it's a safety switch issue then voltage drop testing is the fastest and easiest way to find your issue. Just start at the beginning of system/circuit you feel is the problem and go until you find where your voltage drop is. You can only have three possible faults, open-circuit, shorted, or high resistances/corrosion. You can also start at the Battery where you know you have volts and work from there back through the start system. I can't tell you where your problem is, but I can tell you that if you can voltage drop test you will locate your problem quickly without taking anything apart. You may need some back-probing pins, but making some out of small paperclips will work just fine.
