The FWA on my 8240 is spring on power off. It will intermittently engage on its own with the switch still in the off position. Whenever I check for power at the connection on the side of the trans I get power is there. One time I could hear what sounded like a solenoid valve chattering inside the case while I manipulated the connector. If I break and make the connector it will behave for a little while. I finally bypassed the connector and it did not engage until I had been mowing for two hours, but then it engaged on its own again. I checked the switch and it worked properly. The parts page shows a relay in the fuse box but my unit does not have it, and has not. Any ideas?
