  • / John Deere L130 Kohler no crank, ground wires that don't seem to go anywhere
I have a John Deere L130 that I used last week. Went to start it today and it will not crank. As I am trying to track electrical problems, I found a paired ground wire set that runs to a connector that isn't connected to anything. It comes out near the starter/solenoid, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to connect it. Any help identifying where it is supposed to connect would be appreciated.

Is there an empty connector, lug, or terminal on the solenoid?

That should have wires 105 and 115 which is a left over from the L100 - L120 wiring where they used a remote starter solenoid. Not used on the L130 solenoid shift starter.

Thanks, that solves a nagging issue. Way too many problems caused by bad, broken grounds and at least now I can eliminate these wires as a concern.
