I have a 2000 JD LX277 that has developed an ignition problem. With more and more frequency, when I start the mower it immediately dies when I let go of the key. If I jiggle the key it will sometimes run fine after letting go of it. I believe my problem is in the mechanical ignition switch itself and not in the electronic module area. After searching all over for the switch, all I can find is the entire ignition switch assembly including the module (for about $175!). Does anyone know where I can get just the switch, and if so how difficult would it be to replace it? I'm aware there's going to be soldering involved and that's not a problem but wonder if it's do-able at all. Thanks for any help and guidance!
Best price I could find, looks like it's sold as complete assy., being 19 years old you may want to consider purchasing, who knows your module may be next to go.
