CT series dash lights

[Lockport]

GKM, do you know if your range lever is similar to CT2xx series? I wonder if that switch could be retrofitted?

I believe they are...probably need switch for range lever assuming wire loom has connections at for dash lights.

Interesting. The Kioti website shows the dash panel for the CK35 HST with those indicators illuminated.

The lamps work on my DK35se.. now for some more interesting info.. Deadong does not use a switch on the range selector lever to illuminate these lights.. they use a bellcrank that turns the shaft of a 0 to 2000 ohm potentiometer. There is 5 volts placed on the high side of the pot with ground on the low side. The wiper of the pot then sends a varying voltage back to the display module that depends on where the pot wiper is in its arc, then the cpu reads this voltage and decides where the range lever is placed and sends out the voltage to light either the LMH or the N lamp. Yep I ain't lying, this is how it works. Nothing like a complicated solution to a simple problem huh?

Do I have a disconnected wire someplace?

There are indeed a LOT of disconnected wires. I posted these pix years ago, but there
are 15 unused indicator lamps in the display. They all have bulbs and the wiring on the
circuit board seems to connect them to the connectors. That's where the wires end.

I removed a few bulbs and shined a light thu to see what the symbols were, and most
were a mystery to me. You can see 2 of them on the right side of the second photo.
I do not recall seeing an 'L', 'M', or 'H' indicator.

I do not believe the CT225 and the CT230 have them since the Kioti CK25/27/30 do not have them either. There is a different dash on the CK35 and CT235 which had the small cluster in the upper right corner.

This is a photo of the dash panel from my 2010 CT230. There are substantially less
unused warning lights, but still at least 6 or 7. I never opened this one up to
look at the back of the circuit board.

I have a 2014 Kioti CK 35 and am trying to figure out why my dash lights don't come on. For example the 4wd indicator lamp and the diff lock lamp. I plan to tear into it soon. Any ideas?

In the back of the panel (post#15), you can see that each bulb goes to a contact on the connector. The
connector itself has no wire in it for the unused lights. Add your own wire to the connector, or scape
off some paint and solder directly to the PC board. Carefully.

My CT 225 also does not light up for four-wheel-drive or differential lock.
