    Craftsman rider instantly blows fuse
    I have a Craftsman Rider Model 917.252451
    As I connect the battery it blows the fuse, every time.
    I figured I would start disconnecting things to narrow down the problem. When I disconnect the "Engine Harness" (as its referred to in the electrical diagram) then I can actually connect the battery without the fuse blowing.
    I don't know if this connects to some sort of coil or what?

    Also, the connector I disconnected has a label M+G 140413 B, attached to it. Not sure if that would help?
