Accessory cluster not working ....

[Shans]

Hey guys , I have a new to me 2018 AR195 , and when I turn the key to the accessory position the cluster gauges don’t work. Battery is 12.4V and everything else works fine when the battery is on , except the cluster. When I press one of the buttons on the cluster it flickers for a second and goes black again. When the engine is running the cluster works fine.. Any recommendations ??

I don't believe the cluster comes alive in the accessory position like a car would, at least it doesn't on my '18 SX195 like your AR. I always have to "bump" the starter to get it to come alive and see fuel level and such.

Well, that would definitely explain why.
Next time you turn your key to the accessory position , press one of the buttons on the cluster you use to toggle through your gauges, when I do that it seems like the cluster tries to turn on.
thanks for the reply.

Will try that tomorrow and report back.

Confirmed mine doesn't do anything either. Pushing button while in accessory mode, the cluster chatters, but nothing more.

Yeah a design flaw for sure
