Cub cadet 784 ignition problem

[R Bedell]

In order for the 782 to roll over and start, these need to be accomplished. This is in consideration, that it is wired correctly and functioning properly, as well as the parts:

* PTO Switch needs to be off
* Must be sitting in the seat
* The Hydro Lever needs to be in the Neutral position
* The LH Brake pedal must be depressed

If that is all done, then it is on the Plan B.

AS A TEST............. You can run a Jumper Wire from the Battery Positive (+) terminal to the (+) of the Ignition Coil. See if this starts the motor.

my white and orange need swapped. See in the picture, the yellow is supposed to be the orange

The tractor needs to be wired correctly.

That would explain why you had no Ignition power while in the cranking position.
possibly someone in the past did some changes to the wiring??
If that is so, possibly your ignition switch is not faulty and would be a good spare.
We made the assumption that your wiring was correct when recommendations were made for a new switch.
Do lets us know what your outcome is as it helps others.

Yes I understand that I’m searching for the correct wiring

I’m going to head out and swap those wires here in alittle bit I’ll let you know if that fixes my problem, the old switch looks nothing like the new one on the back so I think the old switch is for something with a mag and not battery ignition

You posted a link to the correct Wiring Diagram in Post #7.

ok, seems some confusion here.
The correct wiring diagram has been posted.
Test the new switch:
Insure that the new switch does indeed make the connections to the correct terminals as the wiring diagram shows when turned to the various positions.
Make these tests with the ign plug disconnected, as it would not be the first time the wrong switch had been obtained in the right number box.
If it checks out correctly, them move on to making sure the various wires do indeed go to the components that the color in the diagram indicates they go to.
If that checks out, but the wire colors/with connectors are not properly installed into the ign. plug location,
slide the female connectors out of the plug and install them into the correct place in the plug so they are connected to the correct male spade on the switch when the
complete connector is installed on the switch.---
Clear as mud?

Maybe this will dirty the water some more. That harness looks pretty clean in picture. Is it possible the PO changed it? Perhaps with wrong harness, or moved wires in harness?

Coop,
We went to the same skool of experience,
I thought those colors looked not to be faded as most I've come across.
But like all things now, nothing amazes me any more.
Hopefully, systematic checking will uncover the problem, or at least eliminate
possibilities.
The more info the poster can present the easier it is.
I'm still wondering what he meant when he posted that the new switch looked nothing like the old one
