KX040 was running good. Then I changed the engine oil and filter and tried to start, nothing, no panel lights, complete silence. Checked the 4 fuses under the bonnet by the battery, all good. Checked battery good. Tried jump starting, nothing. Any ideas would be appreciated. Boom is partly raised.
Thanks

I'll see if I can figure out how to bypass switch.
Thanks for the idea.
Before bypassing anything just check the positions of the various levers etc that have safety switches. Most likely since it won't crank is that it thinks it is in gear or hst pedal is not centered depending on what you have.

I took the fuse holder loose to a point where I could better check the fuses. I found the 80 amp fuse did not look blown but when I checked it with my continuity meter the fuse was blown. I will replace the fuse and hopefully that will resolve the problem. Thanks to all those that had suggestions as to what the problem might be.

The 80 amp fuse was the problem. Everything works like it should.
