Dozer instrument cluster failed ,this is because of the internal battery (keeper LTC 3PN) leaking. we have made the mistake twice and need to replace the instrument cluster. Due to Extended storage time that battery tends to leak and the chemicals leak on to the board and minutes after starting it shorts..
What does CNH say about the problem
The local dealer has been in contact,( the list price for cluster at cnh $1,225US but local dealer quoted equivalent $2,885 US) they are looking into it. But CNH is yet to respond.
That figures.
Cnh international response , past it's warranty period. That's not the point rather it's the internal battery failed causing instrument cluster to burn out. In Just 2 years . Secondly the construction of the instrument cluster is such that makes it non replaceable .. Ha even a laptop cmos battery is replaceable. What a ripoff??
You can file a dispute claim with Case. Ask for the service rep's name and talk to him/her. Or get on CNH website and see if you can file a claim there. Usually if you raise enough stink someone will get in touch with you.
Hey Govnick have you found an instrument cluster for your dozer?
Haven't got cluster yet. Repeat emails to cnh no response as yet.
That figures hopefully something will come of it.
