Product Overview
When the key has to be moved just right, accessories flicker, or the starter signal disappears despite a charged battery, the switch is one likely checkpoint. Brake, seat and PTO interlocks, fuses, relays, and the harness must also pass testing.
The rotary switch provides key-controlled accessory, run, and start commands to the machine electrical system. It does not override the mower safety chain and should not be used to bypass it.
Match AUC18708 or its verified supersession, connector, terminal pattern, key positions, mounting, mower model, and serial number. Deere model families often include several suffixes and production changes.
