Hi all, I have a 446 RX Renault Claas and have experienced an issue with the instrument panel , it was working fine but then just whilst moving lost the Tacho, Speedo, PTO speed Hr meter, hand brake buzzer , etc , now I have checked and replaced every fuse I can find, have been through the system took out the panel etc what I have found so far is this.
the machine has an aftermarket temp gauge added as the original for some reason just didnt work , now if I start the tractor it fires up no problem drives perfect pto engages etc , but I found if I turn the ign key back to the start postion as if I'm cranking it then the cluster comes to life, I also notice the aftermarket temp gauge the needle hits the stop full , if I whilst holding the key on and the cluster operating select the PTO the PTO switch shuts the cluster back off .
I have checked all the electrics and so far they seem ok , my thoughts were a possible earth issue so I disconnected and cleaned the earths , no change
I also cannot select the 4wd function and normally when the brake pedal is used the light comes up on the dash to tell you the brakes are on .
I have exhausted my ideas I have checked the wiring etc and it seems correct
If anyone has any ideas Id love to hear them , we are coming into our harvest seasons down under and its a real pain in the rectum , I'm going to give it rectum Ill blow the barsteward to bits
Cheers look forward to any help regards Tommy
