I have a mini excavator 302.5 that had hydrolic hose busted on. I replaced 2 hoses and tested it to make sure that was the only hoses busted. After i replaced them i started it up to test it and everything worked fine, However Another employee took the entire seat out and disassembled the lower half before i got to it to fix the machine. However after replacing the hoses i started it up and it ran fine. Over the weekend it rained pretty hard before i could put it back together. Today i put it back together and not it will not start. Thought it was the battery so i jumped it and nothing. i looked at the hours and it shows the hours but when i turn the key i get nothing. Any suggestions?

I checked the fuses already and pulled the round electrical plug apart and re-connected it. Still nothing. Im figuring the rain did something but not sure what happened.

Do you have power coming into the ignition switch? If you do then I would check the switch if it has power going out
