I have a Cubcadet lt 1045 with a kohler courage 20

the fuses keep blowing and the wires are gettign hot this mower has one issue after another thanks

Make sure all of your electrical connections are clean and tight. That's about all I have to offer, besides a careful inspection of the wiring to make sure all the insulation is where it should be. Good luck!

What fuses are blowing?....
They are there to protect the wiring, you have a short in the circuit that is getting hot & roasting fuses... find the problem Before you replace the fuses, if you continue overheating the wiring and associated switches, you will have a Lot more to replace ... :smile:KennyV

The Fuses that kept Blowing is located on next to the battery the right hand side when sitting on the mower. Im not going to keep putting fuses in i dont want to melt the wires but the Oil Sentry Switch was Recently replaced also. Im looking a the charging system schmatics and it seem to me that the fuses connects to the B+ on the Regulator Can that be bad? im going to try to attach a pic.

that fuse on the diagram..supplies every thing but the starter.......now...which wires were getting hot on the diagram?

the wires i noticied that were hot were only the ones going to the fuse so far

ok..good....have you had any running or starting issues too?

have you check if your charging out put is correct?

no its been starting and running fine after running tho the lights started flashing like the oil light and the brake light so i turned the key off and when i tried to restart it wouldnt thats when i noticed the fuse and the hot wires

weird..i posted and nothing ever showed!.......any ways...you say there's 2 fuses....one probably is in between the battery and ignition switch...where did you find that diagram?

Cub Cadet has really let me down with the LT mowers, my LT1050 has had issue after issue, all very hard to figure out.

I'm not an electrical systems guy, but i do know that bad batteries can cause some really strange issues occasionally in cars, and i imagine in small engines as well. It might be worth swapping out your battery to see if that contributes. Its a long shot but something to look at i guess.

you could measure the voltage on your battery while off and running, there should be around 12 VDC when it's off and 14ish when it's running. At least that'll give you a starting point to figure out if you charging system is working or not?

where are you at with the fuse problem??

I am currently having the same issue. Did you figure out your short? Thanks
