8. The lighting circuit is hot whenever the engine
is running. It does not draw from the battery, but
runs directly off its own circuit on the alternator.
See Figure 7.12.
• The blue wire carries alternator current, the
green wire is a ground.
9. The 20A fuse is located near the RMC module /
key switch assembly, under the dash panel.
See Figure 7.13.
• The solid red wire feeds the fuse with power
picked up from the battery cable connection to
the “hot” post of the starter solenoid.
• The red wire with white trace carries fused
power to the B terminal on the key switch.

• There is a second red wire with white trace for
the auxiliary power point that will supply a 5 amp
service to the power point.
CAUTION: DO NOT PUT A CIGARETTE
LIGHTER IN THIS POWER POINT. this will
cause the fuse to blow and can seriously dam-
age the harness.
NOTE: The fuse for the auxiliary power point is
located above the starter solenoid.
See Figure 7.14.
• A failed fuse will disable most of the tractor’s
electrical system.
NOTE: A fail fuse for the auxiliary power point
will only affect the power point.
• Remember that a failed fuse has done its job of
protecting the rest of the circuit from an over-
load. If a fuse blows, figure out why and correct
the core problem before returning the tractor to
service.
10. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s specifica-
tions to test the engine and charging systems.
11. Ground issues: It is relatively easy to track
where power is on the positive side of the sys-
tem. The negative side is frequently neglected,
though it may account for just as many electrical
problems as the positive side.
