Thanks, one thing is for sure when it goes you are done, tractor dies , ignition fuse is blown and if you don't know about this particular issue it will make you scratch your head until you un-plug that sensor.RE503242 is referred to as a temperature switch in 5093E, 5101E & many other JD parts catalogs. My understanding is this temp. switch senses coolant temp & aids in altering injection pump timing during colder ambient temperature initial engine start process.
That same type temp switch has been failing since introduction of the 5X10 model JD utility tractors. I wonder how many 1000 of those temperature switches JD dealers have sold in 20+ yrs
