I need some guidance with a electrical short with a 108-5 8hp wheel horse
Cstauffer24 posted a topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
So first and foremost , I'd like to take the time and thank anybody and everybody that is able to help me with my issue! I have minimal electrical experience and I'm having issues finding any prints or diagrams for this 108 - 5 Wheel Horse. I recently just bought it and brought it home to try to get everything working properly. The gentleman I purchased it off of was jumping the battery off of the solenoid to get it start. Which it started up but it didn't move forward or reverse,(because one of the belts were off.) I brought it home to my shed cleaned up everything as best as I could make sure the belts were on properly and they weren't loose or dry-rotted. And I went and bought a new ignition switch. I assume maybe that the switch was bad but further in depth I feel that the original switch was fine. So my next step was I move forward to the solenoid I marked where the wires were on the old solenoid replaced it and it did the exact same thing. It would blow the little small 15amp fuse link right to the right of the solenoid that has a black with orange striped wire that goes from the ignition switch to this fuse link. And from the fuse link it goes to the left side of the solenoid. I've come to conclusions that the coil itself may have had a short in it because when I unplugged the coil the fuse does not blow. And I am putting a 15 amp fuse in and as soon as I turn the ignition on it blows the fuse. Any help possible would be greatly appreciated!
