John Deere 5525 Blowing fuse

[DH Grape Farmer]

I see no one has posted to this thread in 10 years but I wanted to thank everyone for contributing. I have a 5525N that experienced this problem and this thread is how I finally tracked down the problem. I can confirm the sensor, called a Temperature Sensor Part #RE503242, was responsible for a Fuse F1 20-Amp Ignition Switch failure. Disconnecting the sensor meant I could turn the key and try to start it, but even in California the January weather was too cold to start without the sensor. Replacing it solved all my problems. Thanks, guys!

Great news
I made a note of this in my manual.

That happened to me way back and here is the thread with the part number, picture and instructions should anyone need it. Extra special note is to not over tighten the bolt or screw that holds the replacement part on. Lots of tales of woe about snapping it off. The torque amount is in the thread and it's next to nothing. Very common no-start problem but easily fixed.

5525. does this tractor have the five cyl engine?

 

[Brown Dog]

5325 is the only 5cyl that I know of.

Where used part # search on JD parts reveals ""64"" different listings utilizing the same 5 cylinder engine block. Partial list of models is shown below. All I noticed was 2 tractor models being 5225 & 5325 along with some skid-steer applications

Four cylinder turbo.

They use the part on all sorts of engines. Very common part for my dealer.

Exact same problem on a 5093E coolant temperature sensor kept blowing 20 amp ignition fuse, almost drove me insane.

What did you do to fix the problem?

Replaced the exact same part# that was described earlier in this thread. Temperature sensor/switch part#RE503242 , seems to be a common problem in several different models.
