guys the relay thing is pretty obvious to anyone that has any kind of electrical knowledge. The problem is you have to find a place to mount the relays and if the tractor is where they can get wet you have to find waterproof relays or they might have a short life when the contacts corrode.
The diodes on the other hand are not really that hard to hook up. attach one diode to each switch terminal (not to the center one). Make sure they have the end with the band on it away from the switch terminal. Hook the green wire to each diode. (using a jumper wire between the diodes) Wrap the whole thing with electrical tape so that it cant short out and you are done. It will work perfectly and be the easiest installation you can do. My friend and I talked about this circuit while I was typing my first thread in this post. Between us we have over half a century of electronic experience. Get the relays if you want to but it will cost more money and be harder to hook up.
