Have you checked for a blown fuse?? Possible faulty warning light switch.

I checked all the fuses and relays I noticed that only my regular beams on lights work so it may be the switch.

Different tractor, but on my 2305, the problem ended up being a blown diode, located in the wiring harness behind the instrument panel cowling.

Does that tractor use a mechanical blinker module? If so, remove it and either check voltages on or short across the pins on that connector. Sometimes just flicking it with your finger will get one unstuck.

I ordered my diode, $12.00 here in Canada. My signals were the first to let go, then my flashers a month later. Will let you know if it fix my problem.

Good luck Henri, the diodes are very small and plug into a receiver.

I saw three diodes in the harness, one large and two small. On my tractor, it was the small diode highest on the harness that failed. The diodes were taped to the wire bundle with black electrical tape, they may be difficult to find.

There is probably a special tool for removal; I carefully used a small knife blade to depress the internal lock and slide the diode out of the receiver.

PM me if you have questions.

Thanks Chipsndust! Have received the diode and going at it today.

Job finish, problem fix. :cool2: Chipsndust, I owe you a case of beer. :drink: You probably saved me a lot of aggravation. Thanks for taking the time to post your fix.

Stingray, I suspect that you may have the same problem, please give us an update once you have your problem fix. :)
