Hi all,
The instrument warning lights on my 4610 SU come on intermittently and randomly. It started with the air intake light. That light started coming on, and flickering on and off even when the filters were clean(new). Then one day the oil light started doing the same thing. The oil was full, and I've run it a lot with that light going on and off, and the engine hasn't started knocking, or seized. My decision to keep running it was based on the randomness of the light. It could be sitting there idling and the light would come on, then a few seconds later go back out. Revving it made no difference . Then the battery light started joining in. We tightened the fan belt a little, and I don't think I've seen that on since. Does anyone out there have any ideas as to what could cause those lights to come on and off when the thing they are supposed to warn you about is not a problem? I took the instrument panel off and found a mouse nest in there and two bare wires. After cleaning the nest out and taping up the bare wires, I was hoping that would be my cure. Nothing seems to have changed.
I sure would appreciate the help as I am completely at a loss. I don't have a clue how the sensors work, but it seems odd that the sensors would all fail at once.
Thanks,
Larry Frechette
