No Electrical Power to dashboard

[harkengator]

I have a 2014 LS G3033 tractor. The other day I attempted to start the tractor. The starter briefly engaged, about 2 seconds but had a sudden loss of power. I checked the battery connections and the battery level of charge and both were fine. I then began to troubleshoot the electrical starting with the keys switch which has 12 volts. However, the dashboard digital display and analog gauges have no power. I moved on to test the relays and the connectors and all had power. Of note I thought of the fusible link bing bad. The problem is that if the fusible link was bad then there would be no power after the battery.

I would suspect a bad ground connection

Check the ground wire connection point. If everything is good for a second or 2 then goes blank, almost always ground related. On mine i kept having intermittent issues, Then finally had wife hold key on start while i twisted cables. When i twisted ground cable on battery, vroom, tractor started. I fixed problem and never recurred....3 years ago.

if your battery is good (tested and 12.6V charged) and you are only reading 12V you have a bad ground to start with.

What is the fuseable link you are testing feeding? May not be for the dash. Usually they feed up to a fuse box and other full time voltage.
Your problem could also be from the fusebox out to the dash.
