    Appreciate the help bro. My mower just cut off 4’ in to a 50 acre cut. Glad I watched this! I knew there was going to be a short/grounded circuit somewhere but this showed exactly where to start looking. 10 minutes just saved me several hours

    Great video! I couldn’t figure out why my mower wouldn’t start first of the season, I found that fuse , put another one in and it fired right up, they didn’t say anything about the fuse or even mention it in the owners manual! 👊🏼

    When it comes to electrical I'd have to go to the dealer too ! They saved you a bundle is the way I look at it !

    Small wires are hard to heat shrink. Cool connect

    Our dealer had to replace our mowers wiring harness a couple of days ago. It was a 2 month wait for the part. They replaced it but, now it's throwing a code (check engine light on) and it's idling a bit rough, burning kinda rich, going through gas like crazy. This particular dealer is throwing their hands up? 🤷.....🤦sooooo aggravating 🙄 glad you got yours figured out 👍

    True indeed, definitely don't run a larger fuse for a long time when the appropriate amp fuse keeps blowing; even if you don't blow up, it can fry other areas of wiring. Glad you got it fixed. That's super weird that the throttle cable got so hot 🤔
    I just found out my 2014 hemi takes 5/20 oil when I bought a whole gallon of 10/30 high mileage for her last month 😑 Now I have to see if.....nah, I can probably keep that and use it in my mowers or something 🤷‍♂️ I'll just buy some 5/20 later.

    I don’t use any fuses or relays. I do have a master battery disconnect switch for if I smell burning 🔥 wires. Works great for me

    Hope you do not park your mower in a shop/house garage. 1 Never put a larger fuse in then what came with it. 2 Those scotch lock connectors were designed for speaker wires. Never intended to carry current. Read the directions for them. Most are rated for 7 to 10 amps, that is a 20 amp circuit. Not trying to be negative. Just do not want people to follow this advise.
