John Deere 2360.06 – CLC: Rear Fender Flood Light Circuit Current Problem

The Basic Lighting Controller (BLC) or Cab Load Center (CLC) has detected that the rear fender or roof flood light electrical circuit is drawing more current than the specified limit. This high current condition is typically caused by a short circuit in the wiring, the installation of an incorrect higher-wattage bulb, or an internal failure within the light fixture itself.

1. 1

   Inspect the rear fender flood light bulbs for internal shorts, blown filaments, or signs of melting

2. 2

   Check for and remove any operator-customized aftermarket accessories (such as high-wattage halogen flood lights, hazard lights, or window wipers) spliced into the rear fender light circuit

3. 3

   Inspect the rear fender wiring harness for chafing, pinched wires, or exposed copper that could be causing a direct short to ground (earth) against the machine's frame

1. 1

   Isolate the Circuit

   Turn off the tractor and remove the key.

2. 2

   Disconnect the Lamps

   Disconnect the electrical connectors at both rear fender flood lights.

3. 3

   Test the Circuit

   Turn the key on and activate the work lights. If the code changes from "Current High" (06) to "Current Low/Open Circuit" (05), the wiring is fine and the fault is isolated to the bulb/lamp assembly itself.

4. 4

   Replace the Faulty Bulb/Lamp

   If the bulb is shorted or if an incompatible aftermarket light was installed, replace it with the correct OEM-spec bulb or LED assembly.

5. 5

   Repair Wiring (If Necessary)

   If the code remains active with the lights unplugged, trace the wiring harness from the rear fenders back to the Cab Load Center (CLC). Repair any damaged sections of the harness where a short to ground is present.

6. 6

   Clear Codes

   Cycle the key switch to clear the code. If the code persists after verifying the wiring and bulbs are perfect, the CLC module itself may have an internal short and will require dealer-level programming/replacement.
