Wiring diagram BX 1860?

UWAdventurer · Aug 16, 2011

I need to pull power from around the fuse box off a wire that is controlled by the ignition switch. Everything appears to be so tight. I want to power the coil on some relays through some switches.

Help anyone, easy spot to tap in?

Thanks.

what kind of power requirements do you need? The BX already has a switched on power in the back of BX hidden in the wire loom taped in for lights or 12v water pump.

I have run wires to the rear for a utility light and a sprayer hook up. I was not aware of the switched power on the rear of the 1860.

I just need a small amount of current to work the coil inside three relays, very minimal. I am just looking for somthing that is easy access under the dash. All the wires coming out of the fuse panel are very short and bend immediately after exiting the fuse panel. ideally I would prefer to tap the accessory switch lead under the front of the seat, but I don't know what color that wire is.

Can you enlighten me more? I may have done a lot of work for nothing. Your help is appreciated.

I posted these pics before many times. since you have a 1860, ignore the white cap, its a hydraulic return for backhoe for BX24/25. The wire location is still the same across the BX series.
What you do is look underneath tractor and find wire from rear taillights and find the junction to a y. near that Y is the wire connection you need inside the loom and its all taped up undere black electrical tape. it will not be obvious until you remove the tape.

It sounds harder when reading it- you just gotta do it.

Don't feel bad about doing the work to running new wires. I ran new wires myself for the rops lights AFTER I found those extra wiring plugs. I wanted thicker wiring for the lights and leave the switched power source alone so its available for my sprayer and water pumps .

Thanks for the info and pics. I assume this is switched through the lights?

I got the wiring done. I pulled power from the red wire with the white stripe on the ignition switch. Anyone know what this actually powers?

I just stripped a small portion of the red/white wire and soldered a jumper wire on to it. This jumper wire is just to supply voltage to work the coil in the relay to transfer the power from the battery to the accessories. It goes dead when the key is off so there is no danger in running the battery down by accident.

Thanks for the help.
