In the fuse block there is a small low amp fuse that controls a circuit that controls everything. I posted about it a ways back when my tractor went dead after jumping in the seat. It was very hard to see that it was bad. I had to use my meter.
BTW There are new blade fuses out there now that if the fuse blows it lights up. I use them as I have issues.
If I can find my post I will edit here.
Edit - found it - #7 (5a) was blown (could not tell unless looked at closely). this one is labeled "Operational Control Unit / Switched power relay.
I got my dash working along with the rest of my headlights and such, everything except for my wiper for front glass I have power to switch and washer works but no wiper movement. no biggie at this point...
I still have a cold start, glow plug issue...Its hard working by yourself to work the key and test for power and such. But ive replaced all the engine side firewall relays, found the wiring harness that powers the glow plugs and wired a new pigtail still no dice.
I knew I had multiple issues going on so I replaced battery it was due, replace new cables they were junk. And on the inside of my cab unit behind the dash far left sitting in seat 40amp relay was bad which fixed my dash and lights issues..
So now I can focus on my glow plug issues...
Just wanted to update everyone where I was at.
Thanks for all the ideas and help, btw my 5 amp fuse was good and while I was in the I checked each and everyone of them again all good.
When I turn key on I do get glow plug indicator light on dash, it times as usual...I can turn key backwards and it lights but still no heat to plugs. I notice when I turn key on I here the click or snap and then in 2 secs it snaps again coming from under hood area, dont know if thats anything normal or not.
