Assembly Section 2-7
SWITCH BOX WIRING
Cover all wires with plastic wire wrap provided. Route the green wires along switch
box bracket and cab frame to the steering wheel console. Route the rest of the wires
along the base of the right hand console and up to the rubber boot in the bottom right
corner in the rear window of the cab. The red and black wires will be connected to the
auxillary power plug in the back of the cab. After all wiring is complete, secure all wires
to the console with zip ties and push mounts. Take up most of the slack so the wires
are out of the way and tighten the zip-ties.
With the panel under the steering wheel removed to access the wires, locate the
brown wire and verify that this is the neutral safety wire with a test light or meter. Then
cut the brown wire and connect a green wire from the switch box to each end of the
brown wire as shown in the wiring diagram. Cut a small hole for the green wires and
the wire wrap to fit through and replace the console.
The red and black wires access power for the switchbox through a John Deere
auxillary power plug in the rear of the cab .
NOTE: The RED wire from the JD power plug should not be used because it is
ALWAYS “Hot”. +12 VOLTS ELECTRICAL POWER MUST BE TAKEN FROM A
SOURCE LOCATION WHERE IT IS LIVE ONLY WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS IN
THE “ON” POSITION. THE RED WIRE MUST BE FUSED AT THE SOURCE
LOCATION WITH A CLOSED END CONNECTOR (# 34538).
Connect the red wire from the switch box to the orange wire from the JD power plug.
Connect the black wire from the switch box to the black wire from the JD power plug.
Two sets of wires have Metri-Pak ends on them. The white and black wires plug
into the brake valve. The orange and black wires plug into the travel lock.
Cut a cross hair pattern in the rubber boot in the right bottom corner of the rear
window. The wires can be routed through and the rubber falls back into position. The
hole should only be large enough for the wires to go through easily.
Route the Metri-Pak wires from the window boot to their location on the unit. Coil
the excess wire and secure it to the tractor frame with zip ties to eliminate vibration and
rubbing.

NOTE: When cutting or drilling a hole, be sure not to damage existing wires running
behind panels.
