When walking past the tractor today I heard a clicking coming from the instrument panel today so i figured i left the key turned on... i checked and the key was off so i pulled it out and the clicking continued... a click every 5sec or so??? Sounded like a relay clicking.
I pulled off the instrument panel cover and sure enough found the relay that was constantly clicking. Looking at the parts breakdown it looks like there could be 3 relays attached to this bracket, but i've pointed out the one that is in the position indicated in the breakdown. It's description is simply "Relay". Anyone know the purpose of this relay and if it is constantly clicking, even with the key turned off and pulled out, any suggestions what the issue may be?

I don't know your tractor at all but from the list of relays I don't see a fuel cutoff relay. It should not be constantly clicking, though. Something is causing it to keep cycling.

Take the relay out and see what works and doesn't , Then go from there........

So far it only seems like the relay controls the left/right signal lights. They are the only thing I notice not working if I unplug it and start up the tractor.

It’s parked under a well sheltered lean-to and wasn’t out in any rain.

I’ll take a closer look at the switch today, but if it is just the relay itself then it’s only $25... and about 3 weeks out. Which isn’t bad if it’s only for the signal lights.
The supplier even suggested taking it to an auto part supplier to see if they can match it.

Parts stores should have a Bosch relay in stock...
