Factory front work lights repeatedly blows 15 amp fuse. Worked on by Knoxville Dealer that installed Kioti radio at purchase. This problem worked on, under warranty by dealer at 50 your service. They replaced switch. It worked. Blowing fuse again. Frustrated. Plan on working the problem myself. Recommendations where to start? Lights? Radio install? Wire harness? Fuse box/ board? Factory uses 15 amp
Try a 20 amp? Thanks!

Um...no. If it's blowing a 15, it'll blow your 20 or cause a fire. Issue with blow fuses means it's drawing too much power, which means it's going to ground somewhere. If it's blowing when the switch is on, you can follow your lighting circuit from the switch to see where it's going to ground. If it's blowing when the switch is off, then you'll have to trace your circuit all the way back to the battery. Best wishes, because electrical issues are very hard to chase down.

As justman has said, you have a dead short to ground somewhere and I suspect it will wind up being a pinched wire. If you remove a part, look for where the wiring harness may be been "mushed" by the removed parts.

Pop off the right side B pillar cover with all the switches.

Inspect wires for chaffing, pinched or damaged wire.

Pass/fail.

If pass, turn lights on and wiggle the entire B panel cover.

Fuse blew?


Pass/Fail?

If pass, Pop off the 6 12mm or 13mm nuts holding tractor bac top on have buddy help lift off. Not heavy, but awkward. Inspect wires to work lights for chaffing, pinched wire, or poor insolation.

Turn lights on. Wiggle the wires.

Fuse blew?

Pass/Fail

If not this is the stumofabeeche part.

Pull the seat. Have a friend help or be prepared to lift it. Look for pinched wires under the left and right bulkheads.


This is what you'll see when you pop off the top.

This is what the wires behind the lefthand B pillar look like without the switch panel.

Not the greatest picture, but this is what is behind the lefthand bulkhead. I think (but do not know) the wires going behind the seat on the floor are carrying power from your relay to the lights (its been five years since I had mine apart).

And again, if you pull the bulkhead off the entire harness is easy to access and inspect. Inspect under the fuse block and light-related relay for poorly crimped wire, pinched wire, mouse damage, chaffing, poor insolation or poorly secured. No wiries should ever be able to "wiggle" under normal use unless you're grabbing them.

Mice! #!$@%* Mice! B pillar wiring all good. Popped Top and mouse/mice had destroyed the last 3 inches of the yellow & black wires from the harness to the left front work light. Replaced the ends, reconnected and works fine. HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH KIOTI OR THE DEALER or the radio install. I'm thinking that in their shop, with no vibration they got lights to work again after switch replacement and stopped there. I have no way to know if I bought a mouse with the tractor or got infested at my place. REGARDLESS..thanks for the responses and Pics. They helped.

Awesome! Glad you got it all worked out. Now....how to get rid of mice in your rig? :)

I tell you what: right now I have a battery drain that is from mouse damage, but its winter in north-central Minnesota and I don't have a shop so it must wait until warm spring comes around and I already know there is a mouse house behind at least the left bulkhead. While there I'm going to do my darnest to try and figure out how these rodents are getting into the cab as well as up into the top.

My guess would be up one of the side pillars that house the condensate drain or AC/heater hoses/lines.
