Operator control console
The turn signal switch is located on the console arm
signal switch is depressed (left or right), power is sent to the flasher module to
illuminate the corresponding signal lights. The signal lights will continue to flash
until the switch is returned to the OFF (center) position. The turn signal switch
receives power from fuse F−B3 (15 Amp).
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting decks and stop engine.
Remove key from key switch.
2. Turn battery−disconnect switch to the OFF position.
3. Disassemble the console arm to gain access to the switch (see
Arm (page
7–35)).
4. Disconnect machine wire harness connector from the switch being tested.

5. The switch terminals are marked as shown in
of the throttle switch is shown in below table. With the use of a multimeter
(ohms setting), the switch functions may be tested to determine whether
continuity exists between the various terminals for each switch position.
Verify continuity between switch terminals.

6. Replace the switch if testing determines that it is faulty.
7. If the switch tests correctly and a circuit problem still exists, check the wire
harnesses (see
