hi,i'm new to this forum thanks for allowing me to join.i have an ariens mower model #936036 had a no start problem,but was able to fix that now i'm having issues with the mower blowing 30 amp fuses when i try to start the pto.i've disconnected it's electronic.i've also removed all other plugs trying to source the problem for a posable short with no luck.every time i pull the pto switch it will blow to 30 amp fuse.i've changed the key switch,tested most wires for power,ohms test the molded diode plugs 1 was 004 the other was 540s.not sure if these are as should be.cant find much about the diode plugs.if any who could answer this needs more info i'll try my best to explain thanks.
Disconnect the plug on the clutch end.
If the fuse blows then you have a short in the wiring
If it does not blow then you have a short in the clutch, or the wires going into it.
