Description

When you’re putting in those 14-hour days during planting or harvest, good lighting isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity for both safety and getting the job done right. If your rear work lights aren’t coming on when you flip the switch, chances are this simple rocker switch has given up after countless hours of farm work. This replacement gets your lights working again so you can see what’s happening behind the tractor, whether you’re backing up to an implement or checking your three-point hitch in the dark.

What You’re Getting

Heavy-duty rocker action that handles repeated daily use without sticking or failing
Weatherproof design that stands up to dust, moisture, and temperature swings in the cab
Proper electrical contacts that won’t burn out under the current load of work lights
Direct replacement that plugs right into your existing wiring—no modifications needed

Built for Real Farm Work

This switch controls the rear work lights on a wide range of John Deere tractors, from the compact 5E series utility tractors perfect for farmyard chores up through the powerful 7020 series row-crop machines that handle the heavy lifting during planting and harvest. Whether you’re running a 5083E around the barn or pulling a planter with your 7420, reliable rear lighting matters when the sun goes down but the work continues.

Made to Last

Farm equipment switches take more abuse than most folks realize—constant vibration, temperature changes from below freezing to over 100 degrees, and the dust that finds its way into everything. This switch is built with sealed contacts and robust internal components that keep working season after season, just like the original equipment that came on your tractor.

Good to Know

Installation is straightforward—usually just involves removing the dash panel, unplugging the old switch, and snapping in the new one. Before you start, disconnect the battery to avoid any electrical shorts. If you’re dealing with intermittent light operation, this switch replacement often solves the problem completely, saving you from chasing wiring gremlins all over the tractor.
