Wiring diagrams

[RICK jUDD]

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a B1600 as my light do not work. Switch and bulbs work so there must be a problem in the wiring and it is bugging me.

I don't know how you're testing but I'd use an ohmmeter on the bulbs and switch to ensure continuity. You might also check fuses. Are any connectors on the lights disconnected or broken? What's the condition of the bulb sockets? Corrosion is pretty typical on older tractors. Have mice chewed any wires?

I have narrowed it down to a faulty switch, it seems to work when it wants to. The only fuse that I can find is next to the horn fuse and that is alright as I swopped them.

CLEAN THE INSIDE OF THE SWITCH!!

Soak the switch in WD40 and 'work' it back-n-forth about 40 times. Then, drain the WD out of the switch. (It will come out black)

Most of the time, cleaning a switch like this will bring it back to life for several more years.
