Yes, the dash was covered. I have pulled cannon plugs and used contact cleaner.

Owenby - I have a similar issue with my BX2660 (No tach, fuel, hour meter, etc. ) in my situation, the headlights and lift pump also don't work (blinkers do)
I'm following this - please let us know if you figure it out
Will do, got wiring diagrams. Rain coming, my lift bay full so may be tomorrow before I get back on it.

My guess. the moisture has penetrated the multi port connection ..... ( the large plastic connector with a dozen or more wires)
OR somehow the grounded point has oxidized .......
either way - it is a beeauch to pull everything back to get to the nooks and crannies.
this "MAY" help ......

I would think an application of dielectric grease to the connector would help keep water out of the connector, in addition to resealing the glass with some silicone.
I also wonder if the circuit board has conformal coating on it to protect it from moisture. I would expect it to be so protected.
I would think a piece of equipment that one would expect to be left out in the weather at some time would waterproofed better that that dash module is.

I agree. Watched the you tube with guy taking the circuit board out. I did and sprayed with electric cleaner let set for a few hours to dry. No luck. One post on here the guy went thru 2 boards. I can do without, only use on my property for projects. Have 2 more things to check when it stops raining. These boards are $300.

Automotive dash cluster repair service
You will find vendors that can repair similar display and could call them to see if they would provide a quote to repair your dash part
I used one (in Oklahoma?) to repair the dash cluster of my Nissan Frontier and was about 100 bucks if I recall correctly

Agree with dielectric grease & silicone.
Wouldn't recommend conformal coatings to novice user. Worked for an outdoor electronic sign manufacturer. One day a sales rep asked if he could take a can of coating home (no explanation of what he was going to do) Well he got under the dash of his V8 powered jet boat and sprayed the rear of all his gauges. The coating worked, insulated every connection - no gauges worked. He had to remove each wire and clean every connection.
The conformal coating should have been applied at the factory that assembled them. Kubota probably didn't spec it because it would add a few cents to the price, and it would reduce the number of replacement boards they would sell.
If I remember correctly I had my instrument cluster replaced for no charge by Kubota. I was 3 months out of warranty, but its a known issue, therefore the dealership was able to get Kubota to goodwill the repairs. Kubota had to realized they made a major mistake by not making an instrument cluster weatherproof. Yes my tractor sat outside in the weather(rain and snow). Also if you remove the cluster you might try the rice(uncooked) trick which is placing cluster in a zip lock bag with rice in the bottom. The rice acts as a desiccant and absorbs the water(do not recommend eating the rice). I believe the new cluster is an updated version the is more weather resistance.
