MF 1523 wiring...

eanjay · Dec 17, 2008

I wonder if anyone can identify the pin-outs on socket #22 located just behind the seat. I'm looking for power for a couple of 'spot-lights' mounted on top of the ROPS. I was told the was a 20amp line there - somewhere?

Cheers - EanJay

My 1532 has two live power leads at the rear of the tractor that are labeled "worklights" on the wiring diagram. I assume you have found these on the wiring diagram in your manual. They are taped to the wires on your ROPS below the fenders. Take a good look and feel around and you will find them.

Thanks, I will take a look.

I am going to look to see if my 1528 has them. Are they hooked to a switch or direct?

That is how we hooked up our back-up light. The power comes on with the key.

I have been working on my auxiliary lighting project and found that those two worklight outputs are live all the time! They are pretty useless back there since most people want to have the switches on the dash. You can buy lights with the switches through the back though so I guess it just depends how you want to operate. At this time, I have left them alone and decided to mount an extra fuse panel behind the seat to power all my accessories. I may use these "live" wires to have a secondary switch to power my relays for when the tractor is not running though.
