Any ideas what the problem would be? I checked the fuses ( bottom part of ignition side) I checked the wiring and lights. A couple of weeks back I greased up all electrical plugins with dielectric grease but I doubt that would have caused the problem. Are there any other places I should look up for fuses? It's only the back signals that are not working, front ones work fine. Any input? thanks cag.

Are the bulbs themselves good? I know on my little Ford, there is a lot of vibration on the metal fenders, and the filaments in the bulbs give out pretty quick.

The bulbs appear to be fine...cag

Check all the plugs, if you greased them they may have vibrated loose or pushed back out, check where the ground is located as it may be loose. My two cents.

Check the switch. On my LK the switch gets corroded in side and doesn't make good contact causing only one light to work. If I play with the switch I can get both to work.

Hi, turns out my signal bulb's are completely rusted in the socket, I believe this is the cause of my problem, the brake light sockets which are just beside are rust free, for some reason my signal light sockets were not sealed. I'm waiting for my buddy to show up with his tester to check the wires for proper ground. Would any one take the time to check and see if the light bulb sockets are rusted on your tractor, or am I the only one with this issue? To remove the light bulb simply push in and turn (underneath back fender). Thanks cag.

If you end up with new sockets I noticed in my time in the auto repair field many manufacturers use apparently some white grease in the socket to aid in keeping things corriosion resistant. I would assume silicone tune up paste would have similar effect.

Talk with the dealer look's like it will be coverd under waranty,I sprayed the sockets with penetranting oil, then use long nose plyers, it broke to pieces the bottom part of the socket is simply a chunk of rust.. When I get the new ones I'll grease them up, MAN I've seen some rust in socket's before but not like this...cag

Now I'm curious as to if you store it outside, live near the ocean, pressurewash rig, remove bulbs now and then and dip them in salt water?
Anything out of the ordinary?
