Check the cause
Inspect the left rear fender PTO switch for physical damage, water ingress, or heavy mud/debris packing.
Disconnect the switch and inspect the electrical connector for corrosion, loose pins, or broken wires.
Test the switch for proper continuity using a multimeter (typically heavy-duty, normally closed switches rated at 70V 0.5A 10W).
Check the wiring continuity from the fender switch connector back to the TRANS1 module to rule out a severed wire in the harness.
Repair steps
Safety First
Turn off the tractor, remove the key, and disconnect the battery to prevent accidental PTO engagement or electrical shorts.
Access the Switch
Locate the faulty external PTO switch on the left rear mudguard/fender.
Disconnect
Reach behind the fender and unplug the electrical wiring harness connector from the back of the switch.
Remove
Depress the retaining clips or remove the retaining nut holding the switch in place, and push the switch out of the fender mounting hole.
Install
Insert the new replacement switch into the fender. Ensure the weather protection sealing rubber is properly seated to prevent future water ingress.
Reconnect
Plug the existing wiring harness connector into the new switch.
Test
Reconnect the battery. Clear the fault codes using a diagnostic tool (if they do not self-clear). Start the tractor and safely test the PTO engagement and disengagement from both the cab and the new external fender switch.
