Tractor Repair: Kubota Tractor Electrical, time relay, cab area


Question
2008 Kubota BX 2350

After mowing the other day I hosed off the deck and got some overspray in the cab area.  Now  the engine won't shut off with the key and I keep blowing the fuse marked time relay.  Diesels have a solenoid that is activated when the key is turned off.  That solenoid pushes the fuel shut off lever in the engine compartment.  I know that solenoid is good since I put a jumper from the pos. side of the battery and got it to operate.  I replaced the relay the in the dash.  The unit starts and runs fine just won't shut off.  There is a short somewhere any ideas?

Answer
There had to be another relay that is stuck. Power to the solenoid that is not turning off via the relay. I can't give you specifics but i would start it and turn off the key and start pulling out relays see which one will turn it off when pulled out. Otherwise the hold wire on the solenoid is shorted to power somewhere start disconnecting connectors and start from there.
