M59- Electrical issue- Glitchy dash

[c.johnson0705]

Good afternoon!

I have a 2013 M59 TBL that has developed some electrical demons and wondering if anyone could help.
Over the last 6 months when I go to start it I sometimes get a lot of clicking and dash power interruptions...
I just replaced the exhaust manifold gasket, disconnected the battery before I started working on it. Everything is back together, went to start it, got one little click and lights on the display then nothing...I have check the two different fuse "boxes".
Battery connect is good, cleaned both.
I have power to the key switch...
Are there inline fuses anywhere?
Thank you for the help!!! Once you fix one issue the next one pops up..
Much appreciated

I've seen inadequate ground cables cause symptoms like this. Sometimes the bolted end connection is not conducting well enough. Kubota uses jacketed ground wires but they corrode inside anyway near the ends. A quick test would be to use a jumper cable from the battery post to a shiny bolt head somewhere on the engine or loader frame. If the issue goes away replace/rework your negative cable.

Yup!
This happens all too often!

Sure does and a multimeter can find it and other electric problems in less time than it takes to turn a computer on and ask.

Well....maybe....
A multimeter will show 12V even if only one strand of the battery cable is still conductive.
