B7100 hour meter help?

[dntfxr]

I had my ignition replaced at the dealer and ever since my hour meter hasn't worked. I've only put about 5 hrs on it since but I want to keep track of it if at all possible. Used to it would click when the key was held to the left to warm the glow plugs, but it doesn't click anymore even though the plugs are working fine. Ive checked the 3 fuses under the ignition and they all look ok. Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks

I'd have to recommend taking it back to the dealer. They broke it, they can fix it. Probably just a loose connector.

Yeah If I can't figure it out I'll probably do that. It was over a year ago though so I'd probably have to pay for it, plus it's about an hour away. I'd like to find a schematic, it's possible they accidentally switched some wires on the ignition I guess...

How common is it for these gauges to just go out? There is some kind of relay or something right next to the gauge and I guess that could be the issue too? If I have to replace the gauge I could probably just leave the key on until it caught back up with the actual hours. Any other suggestions?

Thanks guys, got her fixed yesterday. I couldn't trace the issue with the factory wiring so I ran new wires from the meter to the ignition and she clicks like normal again! I kept track of the hrs and left the key on for the 18 hrs to catch back up. Good as almost new!
