ZD1211 work light addition

[turbo246]

Here’s is pigtail by fuel tank. One on each side. Hot all the time with fuse installed

So on my mower, The pigtail under the seat (bullet connectors) is a red with blue trader and ground. This has 12v all the time The white connector on each side of radiator down by bottom of fuel tanks powered up when I put a fuse in the “work light” location.
So Kubota must make a harness to switch the constant power fed to these pigtails

Those the wires in that picture will only power up with the ignition on they are not constant power im not sure about the others but i definitely wanted switched power. I accidentally deep cycled my m8540 by leaving lights on. Those are the ones i fed to my switch

Make sure you have a fuse in the auxiliary port location also. I believe that is the one that needs a fuse to power that pigtail

 

[turbo246]

Yes, I meant my pigtail under seat is switched power but is hot without the fuse. On my mower the fuse only powers up the pigtails by rops

Both only hot with key on. Sorry wasn’t specific

For reference, this is Kubota kit but they are halogen

Thanks I didn't want rops lights for my zd. I have no steep hills in my yard and lots of low hanging branches so my rops is retracted 100% of the time. thus i needed to mount the light somewhere else

So the work light switch you installed will only control the pigtails under the seat?
Is there a way to also switch rops lights or are they wired from the factory to power up with ignition?
Ideally I’d like to have two switches; one powering a light bar at the front & the other powering the rops lights. Any recommendations on how to accomplish this?
