CT235 hour meter.

i have likely already posted about my hour meter not working but hoping someone has some easy steps to help diagnose. Have also posted about my dash lights not working but really don't care about those. Hour meter sure is nice for service intervals. Thanks, Winston

CT335 wiring

I mistakenly put CT35 on my initial post, have changed it to CT235. I believe the DK35 has a mechanical tachometer and I think mine is electrical. I believe the CK35 is the closest Kioti to my CT235. My service manual does show a wire straight from hour meter to operational control unit. It takes a little different route than the one shown on your attached drawing. Do you have any idea what feeds the operational control unit with engine hours. I would think the control unit just starts counting when the key is on but sure don't know that.

I know this is an old thread, but on mine it was the relay under the cluster fairing. I wrongly assumed it was a grounding problem because of the symptoms. Looking into it further I realized that this relay powers most, but not all of the instrument cluster + the lighting circuits. Mine was awol for almost ten years, as I had given up on finding the fault. Unfortunately the hour meter counter is in the cluster, not the central computer, so my tractor shows at least half the actual hours.

I used a generic 5 pin automotive relay rated at 40A. The original was rated for 20A and has been superseded by a 40A unit. The original PN# is T4180-69961. Do not pay Bobcat/Kioti $35 for this part. It is a $2.50 item at your local parts house.

Do you have a part number for the $2.50 one? Thanks
