I was out boxblading a pasture on my 2320 at dusk yesterday and it started to get a little dark so i turned the lights on (headlights+ 3 dealer installed worklights) when i went over some uneven ground and had a mild bump cause all lights to go dark. I didn't have time to poke around to determine the problem last night & will look after work. Any ideas? There's been no problem so far with 250 hours on the machine. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I say check the fuses.

First check the fuse to the lights. If it blew you likely have a short somewhere due to bare wire touching ground. Look over the wiring and connectors real good.

Fuse was blown & I did track down a bare wire on one of the work lights where the insulation must have worn through.
