Can anyone advise the location of a fuse for the AC? Neither blower, radio, wipers or spotlights are working. Seems to occurred after compressed air radiator clean, although may be totally coincidental. All other power works - headlights, blinkers, and horn.

There's fuses right in the front when you open the hood and then fuses under the steering column in the cab.
Question though, you didn't happen to power wash the right hand "B" pillar where the door hinges mount for the right hand door did you? I did that when I was power washing the right side of the tractor and got it up near the roof. Next thing I know the work lights are shorted out the wipers don't work all kinds of little nasties. Had to take the trim off the inside and pull the switches and blow them out. Water had gotten in there. Still have no clue how it did that, but since then I don't use the power washer near that right "B" pillar. Also found out that if you happen to wash the engine or under the hood with a power washer that the front fuse block also gets wet and shorts out. That really shouldn't happen either but it does.
Thanks for the reply. No water used, only compressed air. Since the posting I have checked every fuse under steering wheel and above the battery. All good. Removed the trim on side post and no issues observed. The 12v adapter does have power but the work lights and wipers do not have any hot wires. Removed the dash looking for fuses. None found. About to remove battery and check all connections under the air filter. After this will be consulting local dealers. Still puzzled.

Thanks for mentioning the battery. I forgot, I had to replace the battery clamps themselves because they just rotted out causing the same issue as well. Clamps kept coming loose and finally broke. It was worth the time to put new clamps on that stay tight so yep, better check those too. Sorry I didn't remember that.

"Great!!" he says with mixed emotion. I'm beginning to understand that the wiring on this tractor may not be so robust. It looks like the wire corroded and then failed. To me, coming from the automotive quality world, that should never have happened. Mine hasn't exhibited that yet but now I'll be on the watch for it. I do have to say though, that even given the issues I've had (blown engine at 60 hours - Mahindra engine assembly error) with the tractor, I still love it! It just doesn't stop working. Even my "farmer" friends were impressed with it the first time I brought it down to the farm to help with cleaning sheep barns. I hooked onto the big double axle New Holland spreader and was able to pull that fully loaded with sheep manure with a quicker turn around time than the big Case 1370 or White 2-155. The owner of the White said my hitch would break. NOT.
Anyway hope things don't break again and enjoy using your tractor.
