Hey All,
Mother-inlaw's Grasshopper 321D had a little fire a few weeks ago, it'd just come back from a service, seen a few hours use been cleaned out as per usual then the next day I believe the the interlock module caught fire (see picture).
Thankfully she got the fire extinguisher and put out the fire, but not before it could wreck a bunch of wires nearby and almost burn through the fuel line.
My main question would be has anyone seen or heard this issue happen before?
Now the million questions after incase there's another issue.
Is there a way to test if it was just a faulty interlock module or if something cause it to go bad, can I test the fuel solenoid in some way? Even though the 15A "main" fuse had blown why did the module still catch fire?
Or am I just chasing a module fault when it could have potentially been something with the starter or fuel solenoid I only assume those 2 because that's all downstream of the module. Any help is much appreciated as it's probably gonna be a few weeks before I can get a new module and I need to repair the wiring too.
Cheers,
Toby
