My Dad has a 1989 model John Deere 400G he bought this spring. He changed oil on it this week, started it afterwards, and then it wouldn't start again. A couple days went by and he still couldn't so I went out last night and looked at it and troubleshooted it best I could, everything seemed to check out, and I looked at JD parts before hand.
Had power to the starter solenoid and the starter relay checked out, so I pulled the dash and found a mouse nest and can see three wires have been chewed on with bare copper showing.
Dad is willing to buy the manual, as I said that would come in handy to see the wiring diagram. In looking it up there is TM1411 and TM1412. One is the 'Test' manual, the other the 'Service' manual. Which one has the diagrams I want? I hope splicing the wires gets it going, but I hate to get them fixed and still not have power to the dash. At the point the diagram would help me troubleshoot through the different circuit breakers and such.
If anyone can help me out with what manual to purchase I will download it and print out the pages I need as I hope to work on it Saturday, or if someone with the manual would send me the pages that would be great too.
At this point with the key on there is no power to the lights so need to get that fixed and go from there.
Also does anyone know, that bulk head connector, at the firewall, does that unscrew and come apart? If so I could do so then work on the wires easier, if not will have to work inside the dash area. Thanks!!
