I went and checked and all 6 screws were not tight! Each took about 1/4 turn. Started and everything seems fine. Can't thank you enough. I wrongly assumed that they were tight and it was something else. You saved me a big spend for a replacement instrument cluster. Thanks!

Well, I went out this morning and started it up. Thought "why not?" and gave the cluster a good whack. They both started working! So, the low tech approach got results.

Your secret is safe. I'll give it a smack to see if anything works but have a feeling it may get expensive..

That might be painful. I will figure out the PN and call the dealer. Finding no wiring issues, I'm starting to wonder if the dash module is bad.

Appreciate that, will save $40. Will keep looking for the cause

The connection for the temp has the black ground wire. I pulled and found no corrosion and the connector showed marks from sliding over the gage pins. So, took an OHM meter and checked continuity from that wire to the negative on the. battery and it showed 0. I'm not an electrical person, but...

Dave, Appreciate the information. If I cant find a ground issue, will look at sensors. But, I will check the connection on the sensor while checking the other ground. Thanks,

I will work on it today and check this out. In my early days, I used to wash the tractor after each use. Probably not a good idea for long term electrical issues. I will report what I find. Thanks,

I have a 2019 GC1705, great tractor. Have one issue I haven't been able to figure out. First started with the temp gage not moving when running. It would sometimes work, then not. Then, the fuel gage did the same thing. Now, both have stopped working. Unit never runs hot and has plenty of...

Yeh, so not being an electrical person really made this a fun experience! Picking up some wiring and will be replacing the damaged connections in the next couple of days. Love when the documentation is wrong.

Think I have figured out what the issue is. First, the manual is wrong. The description (image) of the fuses do not match the wiring diagram. Go figure. So, there is a feed (green wire) off the fuse that keeps blowing. The right side running and turn signal rear work fine. When I...

Appreciate the responses, gives me more to go on. Will see what I can find in the morning. I'm glad you mentioned manual errors, I found a couple that had me a bit confused.

Yes, position #8. I think it's related to that work light wire on the back of the tractor. I'm going to pull into garage tomorrow and go through it carefully. Not being an electrical person, gut tells me a wire rubbed through and shorting as it blows as soon as I turn the key on. Will post...

Thought I would post a picture of the bottom of the fuse block. The fuse that keeps blowing as soon as the key is turned is the one with the green wire to it. No wire on the second side. I don't understand how a fuse can work with only one wire to it. You can see there is the fuse in front of...

Pulled the main ground cable off and inspected. No corrosion, but the copper was a bit discolored. Wire brushed and reinstalled. Unfortunately, fuse still blows immediately when I turn on the key. I think there is another stub circuit at the back I am going to look at, just in case it has a...
