Tractor: YT4000
New Battery: Reads 12.1 VDC
Solenoid/Starter
When turning the key, nothing happens. No clicking of the solenoid even. When checking the power to the solenoid, there is power.
Lights
Also - the lights do not turn on either, which I find odd. I tried turning them on with the key on, in start position, still nothing. Most of the electrical drawings show it coming right off the key (inaccurate), but just found one that looks like the power comes through the switch and then alternator - which then makes some sense as to why the lights do not turn on.
I used the following electrical diagram which should be the correct electricals: https://tractorfile.com/wp-content/...o-yt-4500-craftsman-tractor-parts-diagram.jpg
So at this point I would think it is the starter that is the problem.... But I still would expect to hear the solenoid click, which it isn't. So - I am confused.

- Start Switch: Testing the start switch shows that turning to the start position properly connects power. (disconnected switch, checked continuity between the S & B pins when switch is turned to start)
- Solenoid: Using a screwdriver across the screwdriver to power the starter directly (I know, bypasses safety switches), still nothing.
