Has anyone come across a switch like this 2011 M7040HD. Found this dangling under the instrument panel. Thanks

What's on the end of that push-pull cable?

I assume you haven't owned this tractor since new?

Looks like a limit switch, don't know why it would be hanging there, doesn't belong on a tractor

 

[MapleLeafFarmer]

looks to me to be an after market alarm switch.
Are you original tractor owner?
If not could it have come from a rental or corporate fleet?

they often employ alarms.

Looks like it became "unmounted" and could have been a switch for parking brake, 4WD indicator?

I agree. Aftermarket switch for a back-up alarm.

i've seen that switch also used wired to dash lights and emergancy/parking brakes.
helps when newbies operate fork lifts in the feed mill when the forget to take the parking brake off the dash idiot light is on telling them to take the brake off.

If you haven't already....... activate the switch with the main key to "ON" or tractor running and see what lights up, rings, dings, or cuts out.

Not my tractor, I'm helping my neighbor. This tractor intermittently pops a little 5amp fuse. I was just curious when I found this switch it seemed out of place, a bit. Thank you

I haven't pulled the dash apart to see where it might have been mounted. I think you fellows are correct though someone needed a backup alarm or whatever. Neighbor needed his tractor after I located the blown fuse, hay time! When I get it back maybe I can solve this mystery and hopefully locate the short circuit issue. Thanks All!

I did but nothing happened.

Odd that the switch housing appears to be Kubota grey though.
