Combines F3 quit

There is a relay right inside the fuse console door,give this a tap and see if your power comes back.Had an M and these would go bad from time to time.

This relay is fastened to the door. Most of the time it will work if you hit the door with your fist. I have replaced a few in the past and keep a spare on hand. The one that is in mine now has been acting up for two years.

I want to thank you for your input, I had to use a wire to jump over the relay,then I had power. I will order a new one tomorrow Thanks John

I made the mistake of getting a soloniod from an auto parts store, it lasted less than an hour. I then went to the dealer to get one that one has lasted for years.

Sounds like you might have a bad relay solenoid switch that is supposed to energize the circuits when you start the combine. They are located in the fuse compartment of my l2 combine. If you have a voltmeter you can test them to see if they are working. If not, you could short the input and outlet to see if the switches will then work. Replacement should then solve the problem. Another cause could be an open connection, either a plug or damaged wire. Corrosion on the connections could cause these symptoms. Checking with the voltmeter along the line to the switches can isolate where the problem exists.
