Also check your contacts, where the wire connections are attached. It's common for those flat surfaces to oxidize, like 'rust', and build up a thick non-conducting surface, kinda like a washer, preventing the electricity to get through . . . a very simple fix; just sand those contacting surfaces and coat them with Vasoline or a conducting gel. This is probably a more common cause than a broken wire on our tractors.

Good Luck
