Have you checked the ground where it hooks to the frame?
Might take the cables off and clean everything real good again also.

Might have a bad battery. I put a new one in my trackhoe and it didn't last a week. Checked it with a load tester and it was bad.
A multi meter will tell you if it has power but a load tester will tell you if the battery is good or not.

going to get a new ground cable today now i think iv traced the problem to the small wire on the starter it has no power with or with out the switch on i put a new ignition switch on it today then all the lights started working again but it would just make a clicking noise so i checked all the connections at the starter all were good theres a big square 40 amp fuse with a red wire going to the hot post on the starter and i tested it and its good but i unpluged the small black wire on the starter and cleaned it then put it back on and now nothing works. im thinking a relay maby ???????
