Hi everyone, and Happy New Year of posting 
Issue:
It snowed all day yesterday. In the afternoon I was plowing the driveway (8-9 inches) of snow.
Only the loader is attached, backhoe removed.
I did a pass, and was about to turn around when instantly all the instrumentation lighting, marker arrows (fuel gauge, RMP etc), hrs display, and lights - hazard / signal / headlights - disappeared / shut off.
I thought that I had bumped something.
The tractor was still running, HST, and the hydraulics and loader remained operational
I shut the machine off, and re-started it ... thinking that it might re-set. It did not.
I drove the tractor back to the garage where it is parked, and called it a night.
any ideas why things would just stop being visible ?
I thought that it might be a wire, a connection, of possibly a fuse that got wet in the deep snow. I have not had a chance to look at it yet.
I called the dealership - they will be getting back to me
I would appreciate your thoughts. This is a new tractor (my first tractor), a 2018 model, delivered in September 2018, so I am still in the steep operational learning curve. There is one modification (I don't think it is connected to the issue though) in that the 2 HST pedals have been connected by a bolt-on-plate, for my ease of operation. (due to cerebral palsy my heal - toe operation is limited). That works great.
Thank you.
