JD 5100E Clutch Shuts Off Electronics

[haytim]

Hey y’all. Got a new to me JD 5100E that every time you press the clutch pedal, the radio, blinkers and air ride seat shuts off. Issue only happens when the switch on the clutch at the end of the cycle is actuated. To be clear, the pedal doesn’t have to hit the metal backstop. Guessing it’s either a diode or something shorting out. Not sure where all to check. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Found the issue. The starter relay under the dash just above the clutch had one of the red wires turned to where when the clutch was pressed fully it would just barely put pressure on the connector. The connector was broken internally and the clutch would move it just enough to cause it to disconnect. Hope this helps someone else.

Thanks for following up and letting us know what you found, that's rare around here, also congratulations on figuring it out.
