RK55 Exclamation Point on Dash.

[kromc5]

Been having to jump the battery for a couple months, they were unable to get one in and upgraded me to a gold one. It just barely fits and had to adjust the negative. Put in and today and went to get working and it has and exclamation mark on the dash. Will not turn over, radio does not come on, also odd the load sensing is lit also. Did a continuity check on the upfront fuse all good. Two wires I have a question about as they appear to have nothing to connect to. Not sure what could be the issue.

If someone has a rk55 that could take a look.
Thank you

i believe the exclamation point is the oil pressure warning but i believe that’s normal upon start up once it’s running it will go away if you have your manual you can confirm or i am sure someone will correct me … but seem like you don’t have power … do you have power on the switch ??

The controller behind the dash burned up on mine. When it did, it gave me that exclamation point, wouldn't start, and blew smoke into the cab. Maybe it is signifying an electrical system problem. Something's not right. Was it just a matter of taking one battery out and replacing it with another? I don't understand how you have two extra wires now.

Where did the two wires come from? Are they additions or original?

The starter does nothing when I turn the key.

Those two were tucked in behind the old battery when I removed it. I see no were for those connections to go but wanted to check.

Those both are original wires, only additions are positive and negative for the cameras.

By elimination, get rid if the camera wires. See where that leads you.

I disconnected the cameras but did not fix the issue.

This happened to me awhile ago on my 55. They had to take it in and reset it. A mouse chewed through one of several wires to the DPF. It had to be reset and the wires redone.
