JD 4440 1983

[Nate S76]

Hello everyone,

I am new here, and I sure hope someone can help. I have '82, 4440 that the blower intermittently goes off. I have taken off the cover on the right side behind the steering wheel , and there is a wiring harness there. When i wiggle that harness it comes back on. But i am not sure what wire it would be that runs the blower motor. I know they all run into a bank right before the fire wall. Does anyone know the number bank that coincides with the blower motor? Or any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Nate

Take a socket and check the tightness of the nuts on the circuit breakers. 3/8 I think. Also flat screwdriver on the silver relay.

Yes, they had problems keeping the harness on the keyswitch, I would run a ziptie over the connector end and the front of the switch to keep it attached. Not the best scenario but it worked. Don't be surprised if you need to get a new switch and the connector housing if they got hot.
