John Deere 4300 Flashers

Stroby · Apr 22, 2023

Anybody had the flashers just quit working on one of these? I have checked the fuses, and both bulbs but haven't found the issue yet. The right one (when sitting on the seat) works fine, but the left one is a solid glow. I took the bulb out of the left side, single element, and it looks OK, so I took the one out of the right side and put it in the left side. It just glows. I put the one from the left side in the right side and it flashes. They are both single element bulbs. Thus, no matter which bulb is in the right side, it flashes, but neither works on the left side. This machine is stored inside and all the terminals/sockets are free of rust/corrosion. The directional signals don't work now either. I have a bad feeling a mouse may have got under the instrument panel during the winter but I haven't removed it yet. That's my next move though. Any thoughts? I posted this on the JD link but someone is giving answers pertaining to someone else's post.

If you are looking at the replies under your post in the JD section, they are not replies to your post, they are just posts in the index. Open your post and there are no replies. Those RE.s are replies to an old post and they show that way because that is how Classic treats replies to old posts. If you look at your post on the JD Forum you should see the difference where I replied to you. The reply to your post is indented, not directly below it.

As for your problem it sounds like you need to get out your test light or voltmeter and start chasing the individual wires. It may be mouse damage, or it might be bad connections in plug together connectors. There could also be ground issues with the light sockets.
