1. 1

   Inspect the external left PTO button on the rear fender for physical damage, sticking mechanisms, or heavy dust/water ingress.

2. 2

   Access the back of the switch and inspect the wiring harness and connector for corrosion, loose pins, or broken wires leading to the TRANS1 module.

3. 3

   Using a multimeter, test the switch contacts (typically Contacts 1-2 Open/Close) while pressing the button to verify if the switch is internally failing.

4. 4

   Trace the wiring back to the TRANS1 module to ensure there are no shorts to ground or open circuits in the fender harness.
