Last weekend I was on tractor when I noticed the lights were on. Switch was off. I turned switch several times and turned ignition key on and off and even put key in and out. Lights stayed on. I finally pulled fuse for obvious reasons. (Lights went off with fuse pulled.) When I opened door to fuse box there were lots of blobs of dried mud all over fuses. Since it's been really wet lately I can understand how mud could get up there, although I was surprised. I tried to leave tractor parked but sometimes you have work to do.
I'm hoping this is where I have a short but it might be somewhere else. I'll find out. And I don't suspect dried mud carries much current so it probably is somewhere else.
Question is: Any suggestions for cleaning out fusebox? I figured WD-40 or silicone spray and a toothbrush for stubborn spots. Or maybe even a contact cleaner, followed by silicone spray.
Any suggestions for where to look for short? If not in fusebox I was going to pull switch.
