Blank LCD on 3240

[reprosser]

I only have a few hours on my new 3240, but yesterday when I started the tractor, the LCD screen was blank.

Is there a switch to turn it off/on, or a connector that my have come loose? I checked the fuses, and they looked OK. The lights and signals all work.

That doesn't sound good. I don't think there is any switch for the dash display.
Have you tried just turning the switch on and off a few times to see if its a bad connection?

Good luck!

I have tried the key switch multiple times, but it does not make a difference.
Maybe there is another fuse besides the set under the hood up front.

It was working when the tractor was loaded on the trailer, but after unloading it was blank. I am hoping a connector was jostled loose.

Have not had time to do any real troubleshooting - will take a closer look on Sat.

I found out that the whole display is out - tach, LCD, indicator lamps - all except for the parking brake indicator.

Hope to get to work on it this weekend.

If it is new, let the dealer do it.

Otherwise, take out your wallet and open wide...

So far I have found that the alternator fuse and the panel fuse are blown (and blow if replaced). I will try to run down the short tomorrow.

Is there a wiring diagram available anywhere for the 3240? Maybe a service manual?

Display was replaced, and everything works now. The only issue is that the HST High (rabbit) and low(turtle) indicators do not show, and the HST "stall guard" indicator does not show. The High/Low works (I can feel the difference), but no indicator.

So, I am using the tractor and waiting to hear what can be done to fix the indicators.

Anyone else have/had this problem?
