Over the past few months we have had trouble with the lights on our M-F 1135. At first they would flicker then stay on, then they wouldn't turn on at all (which is a real pain when chores take an hour and a half and you only have 45 min. of daylite by the time you get home) well now they started workin again, go figure, but after awhile the cab starts to smell like burned wires, and tonite even, I had smaoke rolling out from under the dash. We checked the wires leading to the dash but there was no feed wire with the test lite. Is it the switch or is it a wire. Got me baffled.

There has to be a hot wire feeding voltage to your switch. Some of these tractors have battery voltage fed from the starter solenoid to
the ignition switch. Most cars and trucks are set up that way too. Most of the solenoids have 2 small terminals. One terminal is marked with an S for the starter. It only has voltage when you are cranking the engine. The other small terminal will have voltage all the time so it can supply voltage to your ignition if its a gas engine, to your lights when you need them and to the starter when you want to crank the engine. I would examine those wires closely for any signs of being hot. Hal
PS: Here's a solenoid picture.

Smoked wires don"t sound good, may be the switch also. You may want to post this on the MF board, too.
