2008 skytrak 6042 won’t start

Crafty01 · 2025-10-12 10:11

I’ve tried to start the machine on multiple sundays and it will not start or even turn over. Every other day of the week it starts up just fine. Has anyone seen or heard of weekend lockout switches being installed on these?

    You sure someone isn't screwing with you?

    Maybe there is another disconnect switch hiding somewhere. If it doesn't turn over have you hooked up a meter to see how far the battery drops when the switch is held in the start position. Have you tested the positive and negative cables as well as the ground connections from the cab, frame and engine block. Is there a loose fuse in the fuse box. If you are unsure about any of these tests, we can help. Simon C
