The rear work lights have quit working. We aren't sure when they quit working (we rarely have to use tractor after dark) and we aren't sure if they quit together but both are out. The fuse is good. The wires are good going from lights to tractor. The switch lights up green when pressed. Switch itself is intact. I pulled the switch cover off and checked connections. I haven't checked the bulbs which I'm thinking are not the problem since both lights are not working at the same time. But I'm not ruling them out. I will check them next. I'm leaning toward the problem being in the wiring somewhere under the headliner. Any other thoughts on this? How difficult is it to take headliner on and off? Mine has screws. Or do I need to take headliner off? Does the wiring run somewhere more easily accessible? (Fingers crossed answer is yes, but see that it is probably no being that wires head straight under headliner from outside the tractor lol) The blinkers work. All other lights on the tractor work. At a loss and ready to pull headliner but wanted to check in with the experts before I do so..... :) Thank you!! :)

I would check for power at the light itself with the inside switch turned on and definitely check the bulbs. If there is no power at the light then start digging into the wiring as you stated.
