My Craftsman 15.5 HP was running fine. Then ''no start.'' Nothing. Jumped solenoid ... ran OK. Replaced solenoid. Same problem plus now it cranks but won't start when jumping solenoid.

Turn signal plug should have nothing to do with it not starting. Disconnect the battery for 10 to 15 minutes. Then try again with the key.
When you jumped the solenoid, it would start because the key may have not been in the run position. So the Security light was on, and did not energize the fuel pump.
alternator is probably bad. the output with engine running should be 13 to 15 volts. you can check this with a volt meter by touching the leads to the battery with car running. you need the reading to be 13 to 15 volts
I have exactly the same problem started last winter, ran fine all summer then as soon as it got below freezing again if I start it and run for 15 20 minutes wont restart I have to let it sit for 20 minutes or so and then it will start again. no codes and just turns over without starting. cant be fuel pump like i said had this problem last winter then ran fine all spring summer and fall! Anybody got the answer for this one??
Hi, new battery sounds faulty, try jumping it again and if it starts ok its the battery, if not the solenoid may be faulty. Hope this helps, regards Phil.
Sounds like there's a grounded wire somewhere between the ignition switch and the solenoid. When you bypass the switch with the screwdriver you don't ground out the line, but with the switch the ground shorts the circuit, blows the fuse, and then won't start the engine.
Check all fuses under dash and hood. Install a good battery or jump it. Have someone try to crank it while you check for voltage to the starter solenoid. Make sure all battery connection including ground to body are clean and tight. If good, make sure there is 12volts at the stater. If good, it sounds like a new sarter. Please let me know. Is this standard or automatic?
If you are jumping the solenoid and it cranks but wont start leave the key in the on position and give it a try. Try replacing the solenoid and the wires conecting it to the battery.
