    ID'd the circuit, and verified that the switch is indeed just a hole-filler. I've seen this before – the result of the silly situation where a fully operational light switch costs $2 but a blank piece of plastic to fill a switch hole is $8.Just for added fun, there's a second wire, (only neutral spliced ?) leaving the utility box… on a circuit that has no other loads. I suspect an abandoned, now-covered, light fixture. I think I'll clean that up. The wires are 1950s vintage.

    Grmpf, not the best day. Excavator was in the way of something else, so I drove it out, decided to do some quick jobs to charge the battery up and then parked it outside the barn. Upon turning the key again, nothing at all, not even the solenoid clicking.Keyswitch ok, battery ok, so I had to trace wires (no diagram, although it's not complicated) until finding the culprit: A failed crimp on a ring terminal where the instrument wiring connects to the starter/battery plus.Easy fix, put everything back together, two hours down the drain. 😮‍💨 #Excavator #MiniExcavator #Repair #DIY #Homestead #Electrical #Troubleshooting
