0 ohm means its working as designed.
Infinite ohms would mean it's bad.

You need to see where your not getting the right signal or power from.

I'm betting your over complicating what's either happening or not happening.

The issue is more likely a safety switch issue than it is another component failure.
I’m really confused… when the WSM states that I should expect continuity across terminals A and D (when terminals C and D have voltage supplied to them) and if not the relay is faulty. Am I reading the WSM incorrectly? I am getting 60 Ohms across terminals C and D.

Your last picture of testing is not the same picture that you had before.
It's a different relay, running a different device.
It's tested differently that the other.

Copy. I followed the WSM for testing all of the switches to determine which one/s was/were potentially a problem. And I guess along the way, I didn't do a good job of describing with component I was testing with a particular post. My bad and apologies.

so... this might sound silly but since no one has mentioned it yet, have you fiddled with the shift lever? sometimes mine won't be completely in neutral and i'll get lights but no crank and i'll have to put it in low or something and back to neutral and then it'll fire right up.
Yes, as it turns out, I've fiddled with every switch, fuse, relay, and lever without any luck. Later in this thread I've shared some things that may be amiss; however, the tractor isn't running yet so my problem hasn't fully been identified and remedied yet.
