JD 5085M power reverser flashing N

[pclausen]

My 2012 5085M does it too, but when it does, I just put the power reverser in neutral for about 10 seconds and it clears.

In my case it only happens when I'm a little aggressive and switch from forward to reverse (or visa versa) a little too quickly.

I get the red neutral light AND alarm every single time I shift into F or R

So I ASSume the Power Reverser Switch is working but I’m guessing lol

A New Pressure Sensor On left side of Trans DIDN’T fiX it the other day when it wouldn’t take F or R.

Now a few days later : PR Trans will take F&R every single time.
I can’t make it fail.
All fuses & relays are good : no loose connections.

IDK if Fluid Pressure could be low when fluid get hot ?

I can’t find a neutral relay unless it’s behind the Speedo instrument cluster.

Does anyone know where the Neutral Relay is on a 5083/5093E ?

The Fuse panel lid says it’s in the center console.

I can’t find it unless it’s behind the instrument cluster in dash.

Hi everyone, I have sort of the same problem here's what happens:

1. put tractor in gear.
2. flip power reverser to fwd.
3. neutral light flashes
4. place power reverser to N
5. move gear shifter to park
6. put tractor in gear
7. flip power reverser to fwd
8. tractor moves forward.

This problem is erratic and go days without happening and then whacked out. Always able to get the tractor going with this sequence.

Is this the neutral sensor?

Next to the seat rail?

Jbain, I took a gamble on a new $240 Power Reverser Switch & it fiXed my 5093E.
Old one had water in it & contacts were wore slam out.

How many hours on your Tractor ?
Is the rubber boot around Power Reverser Switch Handle Stem torn or broken ?

The grease dries up inside the PR Switch & the brass contacts wears making the F&R Solenoids not get power then the trans speed sensors sees no movement then kicking on the dreaded red neutral light & Alarm.

I have a different model and mine has a cab, but that looks exactly like the Park safety switch, I believe the only thing it does if it is good and you unplug it is your tractor will start with the gear shift out of park, if it is bad it will blow a 20 amp ignition fuse every time you try to start it , unplug the connector on top of it and see if the tractor starts out of park and you will know for sure.

This is how mine started. After about 6 months or so this would no longer work and had to replace the switch.

The Neutral Switch OR the Power Reverser Switch ?
