People like this just know how to make videos properly… no BS or him telling you “how much he knows” just helpful info. Thanks fella!!
Idk why RUclips won't let me write an original comment so I'm replying to top comment here.
If someone were to let's say. Connect the wires on the left correctly but incidentally connect the wire to the top right instead of the right middle. Would that happen to break anything? It sparked and smoked for a bit and now I'm getting nothing out of it
This was SO useful. Tried this on my John Deere tractor which would not start even after replacing the solenoid. Pulled the switch and hot wired the unit. Started fine. Replaced the switch and bingo. I think this works like a defibriltor😂😂. Thanks so much for this video.
A1 to b. No problem. B to s nothing. Tracked it down to a bad safety switch. “Fixed “that and bam. Key works again. I had already replaced the solenoid thinking that was the problem then I was about to replace the key. Thanks man. Your videos keeping my old tractor alive a little longer
Thanks brother. I just finished my yard (7 acres) because of this video. For those saying wire colors would have helped. It only takes a second to look at the back of the damn connector directly behind where he showed you.
Actually it takes more than a second. And some of us don’t have time to be wasting on fiddling around w/ different connectors.
Also it’s not a “damn” connector, it’s just a connector. There’s no need to swear & use negative language
@@macysondheim typical female entitlement.
@@macysondheimYou’re genuinely a stupid loser, you know that? You’re bitching about having no time to waste, yet you spend your time virtual signaling to strangers on the internet. Don’t swear? Fuck you bud
Thanks for this video
The key hole was worn out and would not start no clicking sound.
Used spare key and pushed it in as far it would go and it started.
Have to order new parts but your video helped solve my problem.
thanks
I was using a screwdriver and it is officially shot. Thank you. I hotwired all my tower computers, just a simple relay switch. This was a bit more involved and easier to look it up. So thank you for not giving me your life story and your favorite elevator music and how stupid the guy was for giving you a lawn mower. Refreshing to get 'just the facts'.
I promise to watch a video of your life story (no music please) if you state that's what it is 😀.
Straight to the point and exactly what I needed to know. Thankyou brotherjust awesome knowledge.
I’m planning on making my riding mower remote controlled and this is a good way to start remotely.
Your video and a couple others taught me about my mower so that I could trouble shoot it. Thank you
Damn that was a lot easier than running a straight wire to my starter nut cuz it shocked the piss out of me, thank you for posting
You are the man! Just saved me however long it would have taken to test light random leads and i for sure would have assumed the ignition on wires were connected to the magneto so i wouldnt of had a shut off and would probly be yanking sparkplugs wires or some crazy shit to try and kill the thing wondering what the hell is going on. In 2 minutes you just saved my entire day. Thank you thank you!
Just taught me something. I usually jump it off from the starter and a ground with some cables or battery charger. This is dope though.
Just put a new switch on my Craftsman and the switch (& fuse) burned out (again) Wonder what's causing switch to burn out?? Thanks
Super easy. Thanks bud. Exactly what I needed. No frills.
My connections look different. I have only 5 holes, one single on top and the 2 pairs underneath. Which one should I connect?
Same situation. Great video. Worked like a charm.
That was easy on a john deere type of key ignition switch the old craftsman's ignition switchs have 5 prongs
thanks Ryan. that mower looks very similar to mine and the Amazon part didn't fit.orderd from craftsman number on mower they said I'd be here in July. you saved me from going crazy.
thank you kindly sir! may you and yours continue to be blessed and protected in, through and by our Kings precious and powerful Name.
Not all switches have the same configuration. Explaining which ones you connected would help.
Thank You! You got me mowing again until the replacement switch shows up! Genius!
How did you get it to drive. Mine will turn of but wont drive forward or in reverse
Bang on. Got no key, setup is the same. Will try this hack, and get the job done. I just sweat the piss out now.
Love this shit
Straight up no bs
What ears do you have to connect? The battery to witch one and the other 2. Thanks
What if I make the connections as you are showing it the mower does nothing AT ALL
What happens if this doesn't work.
25$ what a score wow
I'm looking for a video like this on a 6 pin switch for a John Deere z445.
Worked like a charm! However, I did not use the method shown to shut it off… just took pressure of the seat. Now it won’t start up again…. Suggestions??!
Awesome is not the word great enuff to describe you brotha
Craigslist free stuff people give them away just have to keep at it till u get one good luck
Great video and thanks but what's wrong if I do it with a full charge battery and still gets nothing. I checked the fuse by my battery and it's not blown solenoid is fine just lost all power lights want come on either
Ive got the same problem now
New ignition switch, worked fine for a few months now does nothing again, no lights no click. Did this before new switch and no problem since until today. What do you think?
Thanks man my lawnmower has sat for 5 years because of that and I wired it how u did it and it fired right up thanks
Will this allow cutting in reverse?
Tha k you my mower was at my.uncles just picked it up on fb and the thing won't start so now I can get it home to house to really work on it! What did you do about.the brake switch I think thats what is preventing mine to start
Blew the 20 amp fuse. Didn't work for me. I think I have something else wrong in the wiring
Jist did it . Lost my key. And helped me out
What kind of mower you got
I have no power to the switch. I checked a fuse but was good. Any other things to check? Was running fine. Had rain the day before..
You answer a question for me that wire at bottom right it's the cut off factory wire right?
ok then if so and done away with the safety switches where would you hook the yellow wire the bottom right corner with the switch plugend facing you it's the only wire left after doing away with safety switches do you no where or what to hook it to so the motor will cut off .????
Wire colors would have helped !
Ik right
That’s what I was ab to say lmao
It's irrelevant. If you have this same switch then the same prongs do the same things.
@@timdorrough1233 right, these people complaining about a video that helped them. It’s all the same across the board
My mower doesn't have the same wiring, but I am curious of what colors need to be connected to start?
Thank you sir! Exactly what I needed to know to diagnose my mower no crank/start issue.
Great info! I guess the 60 thumbs down votes came from repair dealerships.
Yep, they wanted to be able to tell the customers that it was a fire hazard or life-threatening to do it that way. Now we need to charge you $110 for new Switch and $215 to put it in.... you know because they go by the book and the book says the job takes 6 hours. 4 minutes to pop it out, 15 seconds to clean any dirty wires and terminals, 6 seconds to reinstall into plug-and-play setup, break time (working on other people's shit) 5 hours 51 minutes and 39 seconds and finally 4 minutes to SCREW it all back together....
cool video thanks man
I can start My mud mower finally
I just get a click sound, no cranking. Hmmm what do I check next?
Thankgod for RUclips!!!
It works exactly!!
Thankyou very much kind sir for posting👌 from Australia👍
I can't find the bastard keys anywhere!!
And if this didn't work where should I look next?
Dude you're a genius!.... 🙏..
Plus i liked this video you made..
It makes looking at the plug make sense.
Thanks brother, I just stole every lawn mower in my county with your awesome tip.
Bahahahaha
Thank you so much for making this video!
What if it only has five prongs?
If this don’t work could it be the starter?
Perfect!!
Great video! Having the same issue with my Craftsman! This should hold me over till i get a new ignition system! Thanks again!
Awesome
This used to work on my M125-97TC McCulloch but it stood for a year, now I'm trying to start her up and nothing. I used to bridge Blue wire to red to turn it on and then bridge from the same red to white to start it... now nothing. I took the battery out gave it a charge, its fine. The engine cranks when I short near the battery with a screwdriver... but even with the wire stuck in the female connected block bridging Blue to Red (On) it won't start it just cranks and cranks.
I'm ordering a new ignition switch... but in the meantime would love to get it started again. I checked the fuse on the ignition loom its fine.. not burned out.. I did burn it out once by bridging the wrong wires, replaced it now though. Any ideas anyone?? I'm stuck. I don't get how it's not cranking when "hot wiring" the ignition switch connecting block but will crank when I do the same on the terminals near the battery...
OK I'm cranking the engine from the ignition switch, I'm an idiot and forgot that need to engage the clutch for it to turn over, but I can't get it to fire. Checked fuel pipes to engine it flowing, checked spark from spark plug cable its sparking.... maybe the plug itself?? kinda feels/sounds like a kill switch is enabled... or ignition isn't on (but it is cause I'm bridged between red and blue) and it's turning over when I introduce the white wire into the bridge... hmmm, it was running and driving just fine a year ago I had to park ot cause we had building works for a year and no garden.
Tried hitting the terminal shown nothing. Tapped to other terminals and the volt meter jumped what is the potential problem
What kinda wire and where can I get it
does anyone know the colors he’s using. I have an older craftsman Lt1000. different ignition switch
Could you detail which connections those are with the letters?
Thanks.
Sorry but I cant. I sold that mower right after the new switch came in.
Thanks for the upload! Helped me out
Already have wire in my garage free fix thanks
thank you so much brother
I tried it on my John Deere but blew a fuse. Should I replace the fuse and try again
The john deere must be wired differently, Replace the fuse but I wouldn't try it again on those connections.
FYI: He's connecting A1 to B and B to S. Then to kill it, he connects G to M.
I also have a 5 switch "craftsman" style on a troy-bilt zero turn that went out. It doesn't have "ears." It will try to start with B+S but it needs L also. And B+L must stay connected or it will die. B+S+L start. B+L run. Pulling it kills it.
Thanks a bunch man. Mine was the GT 200 model so the ignition harness was different. But since you told me this all I had to do was look up a diagram for the ignition and I figured it out. The mower I had an issue with was already pretty beat so I didn’t want to have to spend any money on it if I didn’t have to.
There not all the same does most of us no good
Wow! You're the man 👍🏽
Nice video Sr thanks for the help👍👍👍👍
Happy to help
Great video but no power to starter
This helped so much 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the help
A rat chewed up my ignition cord. Any way to fix that?
How do you do that with a smart switch that has no key?
I'm subscribing under protest. It's a love/hate relationship we're starting. I love your VIDEO bc you even show how to kill the power at the end. The hate was $25 for the mower! 😃 Jk. Thank you for not explaining everything you know about a mower, electricity, etc. Best how to video I've ever seen out of well over 100!!
We live in a throw it away world. Ive gotten free lawn mowers that have needed just a battery or solenoid. I love people who would rather buy a new mower rather than fix something.
@@Fentertainment you couldn't have said it better! Actually, I must confess something. The mower I'm working on was supposed to be bought from my old landlord who left it on the property when he sold all of the duplexes by my neighbor who ended up moving into an apartment complex. So when I called my old landlord asking what he wanted to do about his mower, his exact words were "Gary, I'm not coming back for that thing. Do whatever you want with it." It's a 2014 Troy Bilt Super Bronco!
how do u do that w a john deer...
awesome video thank you!
Will this work with pretty much any riding lawn mower? I recently lost my keys and I'm afraid to find out what the company is gonna charge to make a new one
Thank you for the video! Where can I get some wire?
Anywhere! Oriellys, tractor supply, Walmart etc…
Thank you! Great video. 10/10
Excellent video! Thanks
Oh yeah good job I'll hit thumb up
It would probably do me good if all the wiring was there but it ain't but i have a solenoid
Excellent! Thanks!
Tried this on my mower that I know works as the key slot has broken on mine to. But unfortunately this didn't work for me...thanks though..
It didn't work for you because your mower is probably a different model / different brand altogether???
This video is only helpful if you had the exact same molar because he did not get very detailed as to what terminals he was jumping. Every mower has a G terminal (ground) M (magneto) Terminal B (battery) terminal S (solenoid) terminal and L (lights) terminal.
If you look at the ignition switch with the wiring harness removed the terminals are labeled. You have to jump the correct terminals together
Yeah I assumed it was because the brand was different. Turns out my dodgy ignition blew the fuse before I tried this. After I got the new ignition and it wouldn't work I replaced the fuse and it worked. Then out of curiosity I tried this and it worked. So still good 😊
So to confirm it worked on a husky with this exact plug 👍🏻
@@cleavitt1003 Which are?
Replaced belts on my 1997 Huskee. Put deck back on and got nothing. No power, not even headlights. Solenoid fuse good, battery good, even tried jumping it and still won't even crank or click. Any ideas?
You could bypass all of that and use a set of jumper cables. Place the ground on the side of the engine block or something metal at the motor and touch the starter power wire on the bolt with the red positive jumper cable. If it turns over you have something bad before it. If not maybe the starter isnt any good.
@@Fentertainment nope got nothing. Used negative jumper cable to the metal frame and positive jumper cable to starter bolt. If I wiggle the ignition switch wiring I can hear sparks or something up at the front of the engine. I dunno. Bout to scrap it and pay to have my yard cut.
@@kennethdurbin3385 ten4.
I have same switch but this dont work for mine
Same thing with mine. Did you figure it out?
I found that the white wire from my switch to the first plug in back to the selinod switch was a dead wire once I by pasted it It fired up
@Rollie mike thanks mike got it running appreciate your help
Good video.
Thanx man big help
Thanks for sharing
Mine only has 5
Well without wire colors this dont help any
Thanks!
Appreciate it. Hope it helps
Great video. You saved me brother! Made my day.
thank you
Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower ruclips.net/user/postUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.
Good option when you lose your key
Wish wires u put together
Thx
😅God bless you
I keep blowing the fuse. Any ideas
something is shortened to ground.
BIGGER FUSE
Same here. Used this method, it turned over, then blew the 30a starter fuse.
