What happened with mower after starting with reversed battery poles

SOURCE: Husqvarna YTH Lawn Mower will not start

try wiggling the plug while turning the key.
you may have loose terminals inside the plug

SOURCE: i reversed polarity when installing new battery

Would like clarification. Is the engine turning over at all? Is the starter pinion engaging? The electric start circuit is totally separate from the ignition circuit and will not affect the running of the engine at all.

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly. I am looking for your service manual but beed to know if your mower has a number on in ending in 3300, 3301, 3302, 3303 or 3304. An example of the number I need would be like this: 96043003300 The 3300 series numbers above are just the first 5 of 10 models.

There are 10 different service manuals for this mower and my best guess is the model number is something like this: YTH20K46

I think you have a blown 30 Amp fuse but need to find the location in the manual so I can pass that to you.

There is the possibility that the engine alternator has also failed also but, you said the LED was blank and the mower does nothing so that in itself points to a fuse / wiring issue.

From what I can tell the fuse is a flat bayonet type fuse and should be located on the left side of the mower about 6 inches in front of the mower deck looking from the top. I just can not tell what elevation the fuse is at. This fuse is in the circuit between the battery and the Amp meter. A second look for the fuse and it appears to be in the exact area even with the left foot pedal. Look in that area vertically for the fuse.


Thanks for choosing FixYa,
