Advanced diagnostics test...
You can perform the advanced diagnostic test.
With the lanyard off your machine, push the start stop button 5 times (6 if you hear nothing).
You should hear one short and one long beep. Now, put the lanyard cap back on the post. How many beeps do you hear now?
Other tests.....disconnect the battery. Take out the plugs. Remove the shaft guard on the back of the PTO hub. Grab the shaft and turn it over by hand counterclockwise, listening for any grinding noise or anything other than smooth. If it's really difficult to turn over, then pour a little (1/2 oz) oil in thru the top of the plug holes. Let it sit, then do it again.
If the shaft rotates freely, with a strong battery, try jumping across the solenoid in the electrical box. You stated above you did and got nothing. This means you probably have a bad ground connection, which would also be why you don't get beeps when you put the lanyard on......
Do not jump the ski with another vehicle that is RUNNING.....get back with us...:cheers:
