I am attempting to sort out an intermittent electrical problem on a case cx-70.
Symptoms have progressed along this timeline:
1. Operating in hot weather the dash warning lights stay on after tractor is shut down.
2. Then, after doing this for awhile, last summer occasionally the 3 point hitch would not raise or lower.
By disconnecting the battery for a few minutes it would reset and work fine for weeks at a time.
3. This winter the 3 point stopped working and the dash board gauges stopped working correctly....fuel gauge pinned on empty, hour meter dead, tach dead. Disconnecting the battery would not reset it.
I have done the following:
Fuses are all good.
Removed the relay - lift enable - swapped over another one from the same group and things worked correctly again. Bought new relay to replace the one i assumed was bad...everything worked fine.
Got up the next morning...back to the original problem.
Disconnected and reattached battery...works fine.
Used the tractor some, back to original problem.
Disconnecting battery does not seem to reset things now.
The problem with the hitch causes the problem with the dash since the dash works fine when the hitch is working.
Any thoughts on what the problem might be or how to troubleshoot/find the issue?
Thanks for any help.
