Check the cause

Inspect the external fender PTO switch for physical damage, a stuck button, or degraded weather-sealing rubber
Check the wiring harness connector at the back of the switch for corrosion, loose blade terminals, or broken wires
Perform a continuity test on the switch using a multimeter to verify it opens and closes the circuit properly (typically a Normally Closed switch)
Trace the wiring harness from the fender back to the TRANS1 module to check for shorts to ground or open circuits

Repair steps

Safety First
Turn off the tractor, remove the key, and disconnect the battery to prevent accidental electrical shorts or PTO engagement.
Access the Switch
Locate the faulty external PTO switch on the rear fender/mudguard.
Disconnect Wiring
Reach behind the fender panel and unplug the electrical connector (often utilizing standard blade terminals) from the back of the switch.
Remove the Switch
Remove the retaining nut or clips holding the switch in place and pull the old switch out of the fender mounting hole.
Install the New Switch
Insert the replacement switch into the fender. Ensure the push button switch sealing rubber is properly installed to protect the internal contacts from future weather and moisture exposure.
Reconnect
Plug the wiring harness back into the new switch.
Test
Reconnect the battery. Use a compatible diagnostic tool to clear the 06.X.43 fault code. Start the tractor and test the PTO engagement and disengagement from both the cab and the external fender button to ensure failsafe operation.
