I want to thank each and every one of you for your help. Between the responses and the electrical diagrams, this helped out tremendously in resolving the issue(s). I still don't know what specifically I did to resolve lack of 12v power to the solenoid through the ignition circuit, but between...

Just a quick update as I have reached a stopping point for today due to a formal function I have to attend to here in soon. I pulled the key switch and the seat switch out and thoroughly cleaned them and the contacts with electrical cleaner. I pulled the two relays out, cleaned their...

I couldn't let it rest tonight and went back out after dinner. I do have 12v at the 5amp "start" fuse but I got a bit of a different symptom tonight during the testing. I am now getting a soft buzzing sound from one of the relays I spoke about earlier. In looking at the diagram and tracing...

Well the test failed and it didn't even register even a blip on the meter on either the Blue or the Blue/Red wire. I pulled apart a bit of the the wiring loom that goes to the seat safety switch, which according to the above chart is the only thing between the key switch and the solenoid other...

You are Awesome.

Other than just buying a new one and getting the same result as I got from the one I took off, no, I guess I didn't check to see if it came defective out of the box. I will double check that, but I have faith it is working as advertised.

Key on, positive post to starter side post. You can actually see the arc marks on the starter side post.

This is the way the solenoid is on this mower. the wire on the left side is solid blue and the wire on the right is blue/red. I believe the solid blue is coming from the ignition???

First off, thanks for the quick reply. This is very doable and I have a few relays already on hand. But my solenoid actually has 2 spade terminals on it. I will have to wait till tomorrow to trace where these two separate wires go so that I would know which spade terminal I would need to take...

I did a search and came up empty handed so I figured I would start a new thread for my no start Z125S zero turn. It was that time of year to bring it out of hibernation and I did my normal preflight checks and everything looked and spec'ed out good. Went to turn the key and nothing but clicks...
