I went to start my mower yesterday and after spinning for a bit it completely died, with no power to anything. After checking it out I discovered that the fuse had blown, which I have replaced and the mower now starts.
However, I'm trying to figure out what caused the fuse to blow in the first place and I noticed something that I'm not sure about.
On the underside of what I'm calling the ignition switch (where you stick the key in to start the mower) I noticed that the "plug" doesn't completely cover the prongs on the underside of the switch. I've pushed it on as hard and far as I can and it still leaves about 3/16" of the prongs exposed (the lower black plug in the attached picture).
Is that normal? Could that blow the fuse?
