Been having an intermittent issue with the power steering on my 825M. Have not torn into it yet but willing to bet it will be something similar. Thanks for the posting the video.
Glad it helped y’all out. We searched and searched and couldn’t find any info out there when we were trying to figure out what was going on. We decided to make the video on case anybody else had the same issue. One guy told me he was quoted over $2,000 by John Deere to fix there’s. They found our video and turned out they had the same issue as us.
Thank you so much. My 835M just coded the same, BUT...I turned it off and the instrument panel was clear. At least now.. I know where to chase it if and when it happens again. You saved us all a lot of $$$ and downtime. Love that you quote God's Word at and of video. I'm now subscriber
Thanks for the video by seein this video saved me over 2,000 dollars as i talked with John Deere bout the problem an they told me it would bout 2,000 dollars to repair it an with yer video i spent around 50.00 dollars to repair it bein i had to replace the fuse block also but it fixed the problem keep up the great work i cant thank ya enough for the video
Man those forums are great provided there is some input, and I'm afraid as the "electronics" progress this will be more-and-more common, I am really glad and somewhat surprised y'all were able to reset the warning/notification lamp(s) my truck I have to use my OBD scanner and have software/app that will "talk" to the ECM😵💫new tractors are also painful due to the same owner constraints😥
I agree. It’s getting harder and harder to repair things at home without the proper technology to do so. I am surprised too that it just reset itself. Eric was pretty set on us just having to take it to John Deere
You've got a lot of mud and dirt inside your gator. Time for a good washing then afterwards treat every connector, fuse and terminals with dielectric grease. My 2017 825i has 11,000 miles and 650 hours. I drive it daily here in New Hampshire. Road salt has killed the exhaust system and some of the engine bay electrical connectors to my cargo box lift pump. My steering rack just died. Like gears broke inside the rack. My labor saved alot of money but I don't have much confidence in Deere's quality when a component like that fails.. Gator UP ‼️👍
We are in and out of chicken houses and pastures daily so there is a lot of mud and chicken litter tracked in the gator. We just had an issue with the steering as well. In the middle of getting it repaired. Sounds like a very similar problem.
My 835m is doing a similar thing but i can turn the gator off the on and it clears up but it gets worse and worse. the light is not flashing so not sure if this would help but worth checking out video was very informative thank guys
appreciate the info! I have 590M S4 and couldn't locate that particular fuse in that location. However, there is a fuse box next to the battery does yours have a fuse box there as well? I put a battery tender on and the indicator went away.
THANKS FOR SHARING. I have an 865R and it just started doing the same thing. Gonna look and see if the fuse is in the same place. What part number was it (if you still have it) and what did JD charge you for it if you don’t mind sharing. Thanks again.
It was a Bussmann 50 amp fuse i'm pretty sure. You can get it a most auto stores. I think Home Depot or Wal Mart may even carry it. It's about $10 or so. We did the work ourselves so all it cost us was some time diagnosing and then buying the fuse. The repair is not real difficult. John Deere tried to charge a friend of ours who had the same problem over $2,000. They were wanting to replace part of the power steering I believe.
I have the same problem on a 2018 xuv 835r and only see wiring harness in the location you show. is it possible for the fuse to be inside the plastic tubing?
On Eric’s gator it wasn’t in any tubing. If you take that bottom skid plate off and then follow the hot lead from the battery back towards the drivers side you should find that fuse. It was about 10-12” in line from the battery
I’m having the problem now on my 2019 865M gator they said the electric power steering box is bad and Deere knows they have a problem but want $1700 for the new system because they upgraded it
@The Grumpy Farmer I ended up taking the battery out cleaning the terminals and giving it a good charge and it seemed to work, on the new ones the fuse is in this video is actually under the hood near the fuse box with a cap on it
