I recently installed the rear lights on my 5205. Everything worked fine and today while driving the tractor to put away, the rear lights started flashing irregularly and then eventually quit. The flashing arrow lights on the dashboard now no longer flash, but stay lit on constantly when I turn the light switch, the rear lights do not work in any position of the light switch. I checked the fuses, connections - everything seems to work fine. I didn't check the bulbs, but what are the chances all would burn out. What could this be? relay? Thank you for any help.

I would check the battery. When the battery on my 6415 was getting weak the lights did strange things. My flashing warning lights and turn signals malfunctioned. I found out there was no flasher, it is built into a control unit. A new battery solved my light problems.
