JD 2030 WIRING DIAGRAM

[dhiettjr]

I HAVE A gasoline JD 2030 yr 1977 that has no wires running from light switch to lights. i am installing new lights . the switch is a rotating switch with multiple positions. any one have a wiring diagram for this ?

er, i don't have a diagram, but you don't want to wire from the switch directly into the lights. the lights will require too many amps to run thru a switch. You'll need to have the switch run a 12volt relay and the lights will wire into the relay.

the relay is basically a magnetic contactor that closes when the switch is turned on. it takes nearly zero amps.

You can use a continuity tester to test the different terminals on the switch as you turn the switch . this way you can figure out which terminals you need to use.
