I have the same problem you're having, mine started slow at first, the neutral light was the first thing I remembered not lighting up, now I'm in the same boat you're in. Hope you get your machine fixed, Mine is still not working,

I checked my fuses and I only have .3 volts on the bottom 3 fuses, I think they are the lights, inst. panel and panel lights, Got to do a little more digging to see why no voltage to these fuses.

Thanks again for all the good suggestions. Steve

I'm having an similar issue with my 2011 ct235. No headlights and the tach/dash worked intermittently and finally quit. Does anyone have wiring diagram? The dealer gave me a parts breakdown that shows all the relays but none of look like they relate to the dash. Thanks.

I'm having a very similar problem on 2013 CT235 Could someone point me in the right direction and which relay I should be looking and replacing? Anyway to determine it is the relay by troubleshooting? I have checked the battery and ground connections and this hasn't helped. Thanks in advance!

Me too. 2011 (I think) CT235 with 415 hours. A couple times this month I'd go start and no solenoid click. But subsequently key off and on and it would click. Yesterday, I lost power to my rear accessories circuit. Then a few hours later I lost headlights and gauges. Have signal lights, horn, turn signals. Looked for shorts underneath and under the hood... Nothing. Will be checking this far right side (facing the firewall from the front) relay in the engine compartment and hope this will prove the culprit. Will update tomorrow.

Anyone know where the switched power relay is on the CT235? On the fire wall from right to left when facing from the front, the fuel sender is beside the OCU. Then the fuel pull relay, the starter relay, and the pre-heat relay. No switched relay as is according to the CT335 right beside the fuel sender.

I assume this is it? Directly above the Flasher Unit on the left side beneath the instrument panel shroud.

Can not make out wire colors in the photo, 4 wires at the Switched power relay are Black (grd), Red (battery), Red/white strip (switch input), Red/Blk stripe (out to dash & lights).
