Most husqvarna mowers have a 12ga black wire that is a common ground for most of the circuits. That wire corroding the ring connector is a common problem on husqvarna mowers. If you have meter check resistance from the coil kill wire to engine block with the ignition switch in the off position the check from kill wire to batt-. What are the resistance readings?
Pull the connector off the ignition switch and measure resistance from G ground terminal in the connector to engine block and then to batt-. What are the resistance readings?
