I did a continuity test on all my connectors. I'd still swap them out as mentioned in your video. The main issue with my mower ended up being the side safety switch on the handle. The button is spring actuated and presses down on top of a relay when the handle is pulled down. The pin that goes through the center of the button was not seated correctly causing the cam action of the handle to not depress the top of the relay reliably. I tapped it into to place and its fine now.
I have the exact same mower with the exact same issue, and i know nothing about electrical, so do you still recommend that xt60 clips you talked about or something else ?
XT60, yes. But you'd need to solder. I would suggest ua-cam.com/video/zcWmvXxRfOs/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/GoPT69y98pY/v-deo.html One of those. Also, they have these: www.amazon.com/s?k=MT60+Male+and+Female+Three+Core+Connector&crid=MVEGBWDL61N4&sprefix=mt60+male+and+female+three+core+connector%2Caps%2C332&ref=nb_sb_noss Those have three pins.
I'm experiencing the same sound. Clicks when you try to turn it on. Took it apart and all wires look brand new. Any advice on what else to try to get it to work?
Do you have a control board I could buy or borrow? I think the capacitor or something else on my board is shot. I had one partially melted connector and a blown 40 amp fuse. Fixing the connector immediately blew the fuse. Bypassing the fuse, I only get a quick burst of less than 1 volt to the motor when I pull the handle.
@@MoneyManHolmesexact same thing here, My fuse was blown so I bypassed it just to check that the rest of the system was working and it turned on for a second and now I get nothing. Did you figure this out?
I can’t say for 100%, but my conclusion was the capacitor on the mother board. Unfortunately, it’s all epoxy coated, so not really serviceable. I didn’t realize it had a 3 year warranty until later, so I called and they sent me an entire new lawnmower. The motherboard is not even sold separately.
Helpful video. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the heads up. Did you end up changing the connectors? Is there a reason you couldn't use the Wago connectors I saw in the background?
The Wago connectors is what came with it. They were what needed to be cut out.
Help!!! Does anyone have a wiring diagram or pics of how all the wires hook together?
I haven't used it in a while... Sorry!
@@avaviel Thank you

The wiring is bad.
It needs continuity between all three wires back to the control board.
Return it and get gas honestly.
The big bulging thing wrapped in heat shrink is a 40 amp fuse. Check that.
