LS 2025h tractor

The hour meter, gas gauge and coolant gauge do not work. Everything else runs and works. Checked fuses and all look fine. Any idea's?

In the manual the only correlation between the 3 is the instrument panel itself or a chassis ground.

Thanks guess I have to call the repair man..

I don't know LS but "back in the day" some of the instruments did not power directly from twelve volts. There was a lower voltage regulator (think five or six volts) in line to feed instruments. It may be part of the instrument panel and not shown as a separate component.

 

[Ericredslslingshot]

Thanks for reply. I think it's the panel also. Trying new fuse and if that doesn't work it will be time to call for service.

 

[tomplum]

Let us know what you find out.

 

[Ericredslslingshot]

Will do but it's going to be awhile.

Could be this

Ok, put in new 10amp fuse. Turned on key and gas and rpm meter still did not work. Turned on heado8ghts and flashers. All of a sudden gauges worked. Turned everything off. Turned key to on and gauges worked. Thank God I didn't gave to call service.

Glad you fixed it.

 

[tomplum]

Good deal. You thinking a loose connection or rather a contact in the switch itself?

 

[Ericredslslingshot]

Well not do much. Went out this morning and it turns over but will not start. Only 80hrs on it although it's 3 years old. Could it be the seat safety switch?

 

[tomplum]

I wouldn't think so. Maybe a drive position switch. I can always start mine off the seat, but touch a drive pedal it dies because the seat is unoccupied. You didn't really say, but you've had this running after fuse replacement- correct?
If I've ever had a no crank, it goes back to the PTO switch that got bumped.

Guess I'll go over and see dealer tomorrow. Hate to do it but I am not an electronic person.

You will see the switch for the drive pedals underneath the body near the pedals if'n you want to have a look. Cycle the PTO switch. Maybe you will luck out,
