Snapper Safety Switch Problem!

[seagiant]

Hi,
Ok, went through everything again and resecured some connectors and now have spark with the Interlock Module out.

Star Tech, any thoughts on that?

This Module is brand new.

I wish I did but I have no idea how the interlock is setup on the inside.

Hi,
Then why was you wondering if I got spark with the Module out of the picture??????

Hi,
Is that suppose to tell me I have a bad Module???

I was trying to figure out why branch of the circuit was causing to problem. If reading the diagram right things just contradict what I am have seen in the past. THis is why I need to know how that interlock is setup internally. Which I am not asking you to open up a new module to just find out. But if the mower was here I would open up the old module just out curiosity but that's just me wanting to know.

Hi,
I have an old module, but would a continuity test tell anything between the four connects?

Hi,
FIXED!

I have a friend that owns a Lawn Mower Shop, but...

Try not to bother him except for emergencies...

Well, deemed this one as I did everything I knew to do, tracing, testing, ect.

He made me aware of the Tab on the Yoke that pushes up the plunger on the brake pedal switch, in the rear of the Mower.

The Tab when I looked was a whole 1/8" from even touching the plunger???

Made no sense but readjusted and it's working!!!

Thanks for the help and this might be something to file away for the future!

Well we were looking for a electrical problem when was a mechanical. Oh well there is something new everyday. that proves we are not all knowing.

Hi,
No, I want to thank you!

I did have an electric problem and by going over everything and checking connections fixed it.

THEN, I had a Module problem, that the Yoke Tab fixed.

This is a refurbed Snapper for my Sister so I wanted all the switches working.

Thanks again!

I would usually welcome an enlarged schematic but I am unable to get the entire print on my laptop and perhaps a 50% reduction would fit. I tried to troubleshoot the print but moving it up and down is less than ideal.
