Hi Guys, I have a ‘91 520h that sat for a couple of months and was working fine. Now it won’t turn over with a new battery by the key switch. I jumped the starter directly from the battery and it turns over. It doesn’t always engage the pinion though. I checked the blue wire from the key switch to the starter solenoid. It shows just under 12v when key is off and no voltage when key is in start position. Is this correct? Also, the PTO switch light on the dash lights up when in start position as well. The all the safety switches were overridden when I bought it. No fuses either🙄. That’s my next project. Need to get this baby going... Expecting 1-2’ of snow tomorrow night! Thanks for any advice! Cheers, John Essex, MA

I'll first start out by saying that I might be going outside my skill set to even think of tackling this but I've had some recent success with other issues so here goes... The electrical system on my 520H. Issue #1 This winter I attempted to hook up some LED's to my cab. The LEDs along with my headlights started to blink on and off with every bump and then finally went out. The taillights come on fine, but the headlights are still out. Issue #2 The seat safety switch. Sometimes doesn't register that I'm on it and won't start. I've been sticking a long nose screw driver down to push in the switch under the fuse box and it will start and run fine but as soon as I climb off (while in neutral and PTO disengaged) it shuts the tractor off. Issue #3 This is the big one that I really need to figure out... I can't get it to start without jumping the battery. Once jumped and started it will run fine until I shut it off. Then it just gives me some clicks and nothing. The auto parts guy tested the battery and said it was fine, (it's only a year old) I cleaned the battery terminals, it has new plugs, the fuses appear to be fine although I have been reading about the need to replace the box with individual weather-tight fuses. (The 9 pin connector is also starting to crumble and is now on my to-do list) What or where should I be looking?
