You don't have rocker blanks on the console?

No sir. Mine is a first gen Yanmar built 2025R. No switch blanks anywhere.

Spent some quality time with a service mechanic and rep at a dealership (same company, different location). They may have learned more than I did by looking up wiring diagrams that they understand and me not so much.

To install the 12v power outlet, the 44r is rewired and the 44m is not. Haven't looked on my tractor yet, but one possibility to power auxiliary accessories is the circuit box at the left rear of the driver's seat. Not the only option, but next best is wire to the battery.

He confirmed that the front bar lights can go to a pigtail and then the factory bullet connectors with no issue.

On top of lots of helpful information and the resolution of the 3rd function quick connect problem, this is the first good experience I've had with a dealership since buying the tractor.

Then that looks like a good option. Let us know how it works out.

I've only found 1 factory connection with bullet connectors. What is the best way to connect both lights to 1 lead back to the purple and black connection?

Make a jump harness with one set of plugs to attach to the stock harness that pigtails into two connections for your lights. Basically you’ll have two Y-shaped harnesses.

T connectors are fine or strip and solder is best?

I just shoved two wires into one connector and crimped it. Then the other ends each got their own connectors. Just be sure to make the connections so they go the right way to the harness on the tractor and then to the lights. iIRC, one male to two female connectors, and then one female to two male connectors.

I still call them by those terms. I’m not woke and I don’t care if someone is offended by those terms.
