WVRider, I have the same tractor and the same problem. Mine would sound like the hazards were on but no lights would come on.I called it a clicking sound. I bought some spray silicone from Napa and sprayed all my connections as well as my hazard switch on the outside, but I have to take it out of the console and spray it. It slowed it down alot but did not solve it.Tomorrow I will take the switch out and spray it. Try that. What I do is get a spray bottle or water hose and spray water after you let the silicone dry. This must be a problem on all switches. Maybe if enough of us complain they will change it for us.
