Some hints. The key start switch usually has a "start" terminal supplying 12v to the starting solenoid....separate ckt and nothing else in on this ckt. The run position, first one after off, supplies power to everything else if you want it to turn off when you turn the key off. Example: lights. Do you want them off when the key is off? If so, wire the "light solenoid" primary to this terminal. Notice I said light solenoid. You do not want to run the light thru this contact as you will probably smoke it as lights will run 6 gto 12 or so amps each and that's a lot of juice to run thru your switch. You want more like .200 amps in the switch and let a remote high current switch do the work. If you have 12 v at your starter (forget the switch for now) and your starter doesn't make any noise, you have 1 of 2 problems. 1. The starter case (or the battery to chassis lead) is corroded and will not allow current to complete the ckt (thru the tractor chassis). 2. The wiring in the starter is open (which is what the answer to #1 is but that answer is external to the starter, this is internal). If it was running and now nothing is getting juice, you probably fried the contacts in your switch. But you said one thing that concerns me and the first paragraph I wrote addresses that. Check it out. Mark
