BX24 hour meter problem

[Just2quickz28]

this morning , the hour meter was readable this morning in 6 degrees weather, but it was faint. possible issue in the future ? only time will tell.

I don't think there will be an issue in the future, most LCD screens will be fine again once it warms up. Take my Sirius Radio, if I leave it out in the car during the cold, its hard to read in the morning, blurry, darkened or faint text, but once the unit warms up its fine again. The tractor doesn't heat the LCD enough to make it readable. If it total freezes thats another issue.....

Take it to the dealer and have him contact his service rep. The unit should be replaced now while under warranty

My meter became impossible to read regardless of the temp ..... The dealer ended up replacing that portion of the dashboard

Yeah see, he told me if that was the case that they would replace it. But, being as it worked sometimes, they wouldn't. I'm going to try heating from under the hood somehow and see if I can't correct the problem so the hours are correct on the machine. I still have plenty of warranty, so if I fail I will have options. Thanks for the advice guys, I appreciate it.

The lightbulb hanging on the steering wheel is good, I just wonder if the tach will revert back to black when it gets cold as I'm working. We'll see.

Yes Coreshot, it does fade again after I pulled the light off
That is why I had it replaced.

Maybe just getting a backup hour meter, the original mechanical style that hook up real easy to oil pressure switch.

Now one can mount it in easy spot to read walking by.

I also use an hour meter with 4 timers built in, fits in pocket with large display. Or options on my Blackberry.
