B26 Blowing 5amp fuse in OPO position and stopping tractor.

[Smokeydog]

Have blown three fuses in as many months. Shuts down tractor be leaves the dash lights. Restarts when replacing 5amp fuse. Top fuse on left. Confirm on fuse box lid of proper amp rating. Last time used some corrosion-X on a 10amp fuse to get her home. Nothing obvious for a short. Maybe one of the safety switches shorting out?

Seems to be a common problem - my G2160 eats them like candy.

I think I would take the fuse out and put a fused looped wire across the terminals and check the amp draw. Might set you in the correct direction.

check for worn/sliced wires around/ in safety switches

I had the same problem with my B2650 .It turned out to be the neutral safety switch. It had an intermittent internal shot to ground.
