Very helpful video! I just successfully replaced the wiring harness on my EGO lawnmower. These step-by-step tips simplified the process, giving me a confidence to get it done correctly.
Thanks for the video. To the comment about diagnosing the problem instead of replacing the harness, this happened to me last year and I did just that (ran another wire to bypass the one that failed). It is very difficult to do as there is very little room to work with, and then it failed again this year. Last year when I did this there were parts everywhere and took me forever to reassemble, this had some good tips for keeping things together.. I guess the main issue is that EGO seems to have a design issue with these failing so frequently.
the issue is from folding the unit for storage and the wire bends and over time brake. the reason to do the switch assembly over one wire is that you fix that wire and the other are stressed and mite brake at anytime. that is why we recommend it that way. if your unit is still under coverage from factory this is covered repair. the newer have a redesign on the handle to help with this. Thank you
Thanks for video, took handle bar lock connector off for pinched wire from different video,no speed control, black wire was pulled but insulation intact, felt with finger nail and found it. Your video helped me put it back together, I didn't take photos and it fell apart when I removed, wish I watched yours first thanks
Thank you so much for a very systematic presentation. I am sure the EGO community will benefit greatly. Now for soldering, especially the red wire. That wire which is in series with a 40A slo-blo fuse carries a lot of current at startup. That soldering should have been done with a larger/hotter soldering iron. And a mechanical rigidity should have been provided for the junction. Crimping the the two ends of the wire together might have been helpful. I am not worried about the white wire, since it does not carry much current.
Your videos are very thorough and helpful regarding my ego 2100. SP. Everything works but the self-propelled function. Can you recommend how I can test the self-propelled on off switch control by the green lever to see if that is the problem
I wonder about a couple of things. It seems inline butt splices could have been used instead of soldering the wires back together. And, yeah, that red wire solder connection won't last. Other thing is why not troubleshoot the problem instead of just swapping the harness? The problem was one wire, most likely, having broken in the assembly near the switch or at the switch. Could have been a simpler, and less time consuming, repair.
the reason we do this is that the likely hood of a different wire in the same bundle braking are high so we replace then all. this way the user dose not get the unit back to have to fail in new way from broke wire in the wire assembly.
My mower is approximately 10 years old oh and I mowed half the yard and when I went back after charging the battery it would not do anything whatsoever
I clean the terminals check to make sure that they handles were engaged I checked everything I know to check still no connections apparently and like where the key goes I wonder if that is supposed to click when you put the button down I’m thinking either that or possibly the relay switch any suggestions

Thanks Matt your video saved me a lot of grief.

Thanks for making this... saved me a lot of time! 👍

GREAT VIDEO. WELL DONE!
Helpful, great video. Thank you.
You're welcome!

There should be a secure mechanical connection between the wires before soldering.
Yes, absolutely! Soldering 101. Twist the wire together before. Other than that, a fine video.
Replaced the wiring but still don’t have working self propulsion. Thoughts?
the self drive control module
And that guy is the soldering expert. The other guy is his unfortunate apprentice.
No need to replace whole harness. Just repair wires where they are intermittent. Taking apart handle assy is a recipe for disaster.
we do the whole assm as one wire broke how long till the next one goes then the user has to bring it in for service a seconded time. so yes
The key was lost to engage the battery and turn it on, what can I do about that?
is this a push? like a lm2000?
Wait. What happened to the reassembly?
My mower is approximately 10 years old oh and I mowed half the yard and when I went back after charging the battery it would not do anything whatsoever

hello so is this a lm2000s ? @@teressasutton8295
Thanks for the video, but you did a very poor job at soldering. There are a lot of videos on UA-cam that show how to solder 2 wires.
i did not make that video. lol but yes not a great show of soldering.
