Need some opinions on why my baler monitor is not working properly. Only ,the yellow light is on. Staying on all the time. Nothing else is working. Any help or suggestions, will be very much appreciated.
 

Are red & green lens light bulbs good? Is monitor receiving correct polarity(- ground) 12 volts? My next guess is "gate lock closed switch" is out of adjustment or gate isn't properly latched. Is twine pump mechanism latched when gate is closed?
 
Yes. I will check the bulbs. I have wired
straight to the Battery. I will check the
gate latch switch. Thanks. Why is the bale
equalizer gauges not working? Is there a
fuse inside of the monitor?
 
To check function of monitor. Find pin #9 in the connector (disconnected from the baler) at the back of the cab coming from the monitor. Use a paper clip in number nine and touch each of the other pins one at a time and you can make each function of the monitor work. Have to have power to the monitor to do this. The pins are numbered with very small numbers on the end of the connector.

If all functions work, the problem is on the baler and not the monitor. This will check bulbs and gauges, all of them without taking monitor apart.
 
Are the twin arms all the way in the home position? In a way it sounds like the twin arms have tripped .
