Instrument Panel Fuses

The instrument panel’s circuitry is protected by the two fuses in the fuse center. If the instrument panel does not function properly, check the fuses.

•Pull the fuses from the fuse center and check their condition. Replace a blown fuse with the same capacity fuse (3 Amp). See Figure 38.

Relays

The PTO relay and starter relay, located in the fuse center, maintain power to each of those circuits. If one of the circuits is not functioning properly, have your dealer electrically check the relay. See Figure 38.

Hazard Light Flasher Relay

The flasher relay controls the on/off flashing of the hazard lights. If the hazard lights do not function properly, the flasher relay is probably faulty.

Replace the relay as follows:

•Remove the dash panel insert by removing the two screws. Refer to Figure 37.

•Pull the wire harness from the dash opening. Cut and remove the electrical tape holding the flasher relay to the harness. See Figure 40

•Note the position of the two harness leads; then disconnect the leads from the faulty relay and connect to the new relay.

•Secure the relay to the wire harness with electrical tape. Reposition the wire harness in the dash panel and reinstall the dash insert.
