This video traces the four wires, identifies the two that matter, and bypasses the broken micro-switch with a simple crimp connector for essentially nothing. Useful for any B2601 owner facing the same failure, especially if parts aren't locally available.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on DIY repairs from his own 33-acre farm, so expect a practical, budget-minded perspective with no dealer affiliation.
Trace the four wires, find the yellow-red stripe and red-black stripe wires that engage the switch, cut them, and twist or crimp them together to bypass the broken micro-switch.

The owner says it does not matter if it is left on, since he often already runs with the third function light on using the bucket or pallet forks.
