There have been several posts concerning the failed diode which causes the turn signal and hazard lights to quit working.
Since it recently happened to me, I decided to post pictures which may help in replacing the failed diode.
To access the diode, you need to remove screws and raise the instrument panel, remove the throttle handle, remove a cotter pin and disconnect the emergency brake "paddle" and remove screws and pull the cowling back.
The diodes were taped to the outside of the wiring harness. The hazard/directional diode is the "upper" one.
New diode $8.00 from JD.
Pic 1 shows the location of the two 1.5 amp diodes, the failed one was the one highest on the harness
Pic 2 shows the throttle handle removed, emergency brake handle disconnected from linkage, the cowl pulled back, and the location of the failed diode
Pic 3 shows a close up of the location of the failed diode
