Cranks right up. No tach, fuel, hour meter, etc. Blinkers flash on dash when turned on. All fuse in box right side below battery good. Help
Yes
has it been in the weather? Rained on?

Yes, the dash was covered. I have pulled cannon plugs and used contact cleaner.has it been in the weather? Rained on?

My guess. the moisture has penetrated the multi port connection ..... ( the large plastic connector with a dozen or more wires)Yes, the dash was covered. I have pulled cannon plugs and used contact cleaner.
Agree with dielectric grease & silicone.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.
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.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.
