The keys to my tractor fell behind a table and I couldn't find them for 2 days. I came to the conclusion I was going to have to replace the key switch. I disconnected the battery, and took the key switch out of the mount so I could see what kind it was. All I disconnected was the battery. I put the switch back in the mount hole and left the tractor.
When I got home I immediately saw the keys at the back corner of the table. So the next day I hooked the battery back up and tighened up the plate over the key switch a bit.
The tractor is a push button start. Turn the key to the right, push the button and it starts. Well when I got the battery hooked back up, turned the key, and pressed down on the ignition nothing happened. Not even a sound.
I'm hoping the battery just died, but how would leaving it disconnected overnight drain the battery? I'm going to grab it on my lunch break and have it checked if I have time and if not I will after work.
Any reason disconnecting the battery would cause the tractor not to start? Could I have shorted something by just disconnecting it? I mean I press the button and it is silence.
Thanks.
