Here's my story. I purchased a new Craftsman mower 9 years ago and hardly used it and it has ware from the Texas sun from sitting outdoors. Most days covered. Anyways, I decided to take it out to see If it would run. When I try Turn the key nothing happens. No click ... No noise whatsoever.
Battery 6 years old still had 12 VDC on it but I hooked up my charger directly to the mower and still nothing
Took solenoid out and hooked up to charger and the coil hums. It does not click as if it's opening and closing ... Us to hums
I found ONE fuse near the battery and solenoid and it was good. No idea if I have others or where they could be
I then hooked the negative cable from the battery and the other to the top of the starter bypassing the ground wiring go and still nothing.
I'm certain I need a new battery and new solenoid but what can my issue be?
Thanks
