FLASHERS WONT GO OFF

[TopGun]

Hello,
Electrical questions for all of you (two different issues, I think?).
I have a TC29D.

When I turn the ignition switch over to energize the system the FLASHERS come on immediately and will not go off.
I have unplugged the FLASHER ROCKER, HEADLIGHT ROCKER, TURN SIGNAL SWITCH, ALL THE RELAY MODULES, AND CRUISE CONTROL ROCKER --- All the same time and the Flashers REMAIN ON????

Now this is crazy. After mowing for about three hours with it, the flashers went off and worked normally when I hit the rocker switch. Cool..NOPE, I shut the tractor off and when I turned the ignition switch over the FLASHERS came back on. If you let it run awhile, the flashers might go off again and act normal. Shut it off and turn it back on and they are back on again!!!!

Cany anybody help, please.

Thanks
Brian

I had this happen on my old tc40 i had left it out in a big rain storm .The lights ran the battery down with no key in the switch. After it dried out it was fine . I never found out what shorted out but it was the water in the switch was my guess.

My problem is the opposite of yours! Can't get the flashers or directionals to work, then magicly they will work for a few minutes, and stop again! Must be a gremlin in there somewhere!:confused2:

GOT IT! Finally found it. Hope this helps anybody else that has this problem.
As you set in the seat, the right side panel under the steering wheel is the one where the relays are hidden. You have to take the panel off (which I did before, but did not see the second line of relays). There are two lines (blocks) of relays on the right side. One is easy to see up high. The other block is much lower near the foot plate level (hard to see when you have the loader frame on). Anyway, the lower relay block is where the flasher relay module is. It is the second (smaller block) relay. There are two smaller ones and about three bigger ones. The second smaller one is the Flasher. When I pulled this one the flashers went off. Thus I took the block to the local NAPA parts store and they had one on the shelf for around $9.00. Long story short. Plugged it in and now the flashers only come on when you engage the flasher switch. YES! Hope this helps everyone.

TopGun, between this problem and the cruise magnet, you're getting plenty of electrical troubleshooting experience. You always wish that things didn't break, but being able to find the problem quickly is the next best thing. Every success improves your confidence and skill.:thumbsup:
