190 XT Light Switch

I have a new light switch I got from Burgie on here going on a year and a half ago and I am finally getting around to installing it. The lights have never worked on this tractor since I have owned it, but when diagnosing the switch I did trace out all the wiring under the cowl and it is all factory and nothing has been hacked up. The problem with the old switch was the battery post was rusted off. All others wires were still intact though. So today I moved one wire at a time and then hooked the battery wire up. This is were my questions come in.

On the first click my dash lights and the outside of the two fender lights come on. The next click the outside two lights get brighter, and then on the third click the outside tow lights and the inside two lights come on. I have tried to swap the wires around on the post and looking at my diagram, but I can not get the inside two to come on before the third click. My question is this: On the first click should both the inner and outer come on together on dim, then the second click the turn to bright, then the third click the rear light and flasher come on?

Do I have a bad switch, crossed wiring somewhere, or ? Also can someone enlighten me to the proper functions on each click of the switch?

Thanks,
Bill

Thanks for the reply! I was looking in my 180 service manual and thought they would be the same and the are. It was wired correctly, just that my flasher was bad. Everything works as it should except for the rear light. However I can not check it, because when I turn it to the third click after about 10 seconds smoke starts rolling out from under the dash. I will have to pull it apart tomorrow and find out what would be down behind the switches causing this. Don't know if the wire is shorted or something else is wrong.

Anyways, thanks again!

Bill

Maybe a loose connection.

Glad everything worked out.
