I have a craftsman zero turn and the battery would be discharged in a day. Also would not turn over. After spending money on parts, which my troubleshooting said was bad. I decided to trace all the wires. Found the wires to the clutch switch had rubbed on the drive belt. Also the engine mount bolt that holds the negative cables, the nut had backed off so the cables were not making good contact. Spliced the wires on the clutch switch and bought a nut and tightened the mount bolt and everything works fine.

Make sure the brake is set, and the two 'power' handles are centered, i.e., in neutral position. Both of these have an interlock switch that prevents the mower from being started. Good luck! Please rate if helpful, thanks.

Battery and charging issues. I have a 1995 Vmax and I can't seem to get more than two summers out of a battery and that is with a battery tender always hooked up when sitting in the garage, and minimal...

Hi, is the battery tender always turned on at the mains?, reason i ask a battery permenetly on charge will at some stage fail, the biggest problem with these chargers are that they are keeping the battery tempreture high, a factor in failure, more batterys fail through heat than the cold, the plates within the battery can become distorted, and will be visualy noticable when the case becomes distorted or swolen, a good battery will last 3' years with use however some will last alot longer, your charger may show a high percentage however if only 5 out of the 6 plates are working, when demand for starting is required the voltage will drop rapidly, you need to do a drop test on the battery, but my thoughts are the charging system is fine and the problem lies completely with battery, however running the machine with a discharged battery could cause dammage to the charging system

The starter solenoid is most likely the clicking you hear. It has contacts inside which go bad. These are about $10 and easily replaced. Just follow the + battery cable and it will lead you to the solenoid.

My Garmin street pilot C330 was purchased about 2 years ago. Lately, it has begun giving a message, Low battery. I have had to charged it up on my computer 2 times in the last 2 weeks. What is the problem?...

2 years is generally about it for the battery on the C330.
You most likely need a new battery.
Charging it on or off does not matter.
Run it with the back light on a dimmer mode to increase battery life for now.

Dead battery

Charge the battery using the supplied USB cable. The salesperson meant that the battery would last for years before it will no longer take a charge and need to be replaced.
