After a lot of planning, studying the schematic, and running wires, the lights on my 3000 are finally working...sort of. Both headlights and the rear work light do work, but when I pull the light switch, the tractor stalls. I don't have the original lights on it right now, but I hope to soon. I had some other lights in my shed that are very similar, but have a toggle switch on the back of them. When the tractor started to stall, I pushed the light switch back in and the engine revved back up and started idling again. I ran up front and cut both lights off at the toggle switches, pulled the light switch back out, and then went and cut the lights on separately with no issues. I assume the lights are drawing too much power when initially turning them on? I read somewhere that this could happen because I pulled power off of the start switch? That is how the schematic is drawn so that's what I followed. Would a relay help at all or should I rewire it and bypass the start switch? I'd rather not do that so it stays accurate to the schematic and so it's as original as possible, but I'll do what needs to be done. Any advice is appreciated.
