John Deere 002382.05 – RLC / BLC: Front Clearance Signal Low Amps

The control module (either the Roof Lighting Control Unit or Main Control Module) has detected a lower than expected electrical current draw when the front clearance lights are activated. This indicates a fault in the clearance light circuit, most commonly caused by a burned-out bulb, but potentially due to damaged wiring, blown fuses, or a failing cab roof module.

1. 1

   Visually inspect the front clearance lights to see if a bulb has burned out.

2. 2

   Access fault codes through the dashboard display using roller dials and select buttons to navigate to the diagnostic menu.

3. 3

   Check for blown fuses related to the lighting circuits.

4. 4

   Inspect battery connections for looseness or corrosion.

5. 5

   Examine the visible wiring harness for any obvious physical damage.

1. 1

   Cycle power

   Turn the tractor's key switch off and back on to see if a temporary glitch clears the fault.

2. 2

   Replace bulb

   If a bulb is identified as faulty during the visual inspection, replace it. This is the most common resolution for this fault code.

3. 3

   Inspect wiring and connectors

   If replacing the bulb does not clear the fault, inspect the wiring harness and connectors between the bulb socket and the respective control module (RLC or BLC). Look for signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections.

4. 4

   Test circuit continuity and voltage

   Use a multimeter to test for continuity and proper voltage at the bulb socket and along the wiring harness. This will help identify a break or high resistance in the circuit.

5. 5

   Inspect control module

   If the bulb and wiring are confirmed to be in good condition, inspect the Cab Roof Module (RLC) or Main Control Module (BLC) for any visible signs of damage or corrosion on its connectors.
