Bob: I have an 855, and if you can get your hands on the shop manual for it, it will really help. That said, like Clooney, behind the dash is a pain, remove the tank, etc. If it were me, I might be tempted to try a bit of hot wiring. You could jumper from the battery (through a good fuse if you like), and maybe touch it off on the fuel solenoid to hear it click, the starter solenoid to hear that it clacks, and check to see if/when the dash might light up. I once had a problem, and it turned out to be the nuetral start switch in the the pedals....it won't turn over if a peddle if depressed. Since you don't have power with the switch on, it can't be that. Sure there aren't any blown fuses ? I would check the ground cable, then the hot cable. If you're adventurous, you could fire the battery lead at the alternator, which should power up the dash. I've tried this backing up method to a problem like this to detect a bad connection and/or burnt wire. I have a book, and I'm home this week playing with my 70D, so I'd be glad to look anything up for you that you might need. Us Floridians have to stick together ! Feel free to give me a call at home 850-671-1809. Frank Boerger
