Hello, I have a Mahindra 1635 in the range of '20 to '21 range with 83 hrs on it. While bush/brush hogging a green field yesterday the tractor just shuts down completely. All fluids are good along with plenty of fuel. The thing with this issue is the instrument panel doesn't illuminate, when you turn the key it is a blank screen no glow plug light, temp gauge, or fuel gauge just nothing. You can turn the switch to try and start but it will never fire off, the starter turns over well no issues but it just will not fire. Anyone had this issue or any ideas on what could cause this issue. Trying to have a backup plan in case the warranty has expired. Have to call the dealership tomorrow and see what they say, none of my paperwork has any warranty info that I can find. Thanks in advance!

Mahindra 1635 starting issues!

That is most likely covered under the 2 year bumper to bumper. Sounds like loss of voltage to the fuel control/ shut off.Hello, I have a Mahindra 1635 in the range of '20 to '21 range with 83 hrs on it.

So how is a '21 model covered under two year bumper to bumper warranty? I'm pretty dense so I'm having a hard time picturing that.That is most likely covered under the 2 year bumper to bumper. Sounds like loss of voltage to the fuel control/ shut off.
Update: After checking multiple fuse panel locations I finally found a fuse that was blown. It apparently controls multiple items along with the instrument panel. Replaced the fuse thought everything was good until tried to engage the pto fuse blows every time. Traced all wires that I can visibly see and trace with no visible damage. Now thinking maybe a faulty fuse panel or faulty to switch.
Your logic escapes me, but hey, it's your project. Seems to me the problem would AFTER the PTO switch, and not likely anything with the fuse panel. Me? I would start by unplugging the PTO valve solenoid coil next and see what that does. If still blowing fuses with PTO switch on I'd be tracing wires and connections between the valve and the switch. That's where I would expect to find a problem.
I only say possible fuse panel issue because my brother in law bought a Mahindra different model same year and within 50 hrs he had to have the fuse panel replaced, causing same issues other than instrument panel not blacking out. Apparently different set up on his model. The end part of the update was supposed to say fuse panel or pto switch. I didn't realize the p in pto was missing. After talking to dealership today and finding out it's not warranty covered they told me common issues with these model/years were fuse panels and pto switch issues. Replacement pto switch is $250 and they are supposed to let me know a price for fuse panel. So looks like I have some testing to do to locate which I have to replace.Your logic escapes me, but hey, it's your project.

Your tractor may have a electric pto ?? could
Hopefully will have it narrowed down by this weekend. With the arm rest panels already removed from tracing wires from the pto switch and fuse panel only a matter of testing now.Your tractor may have a electric pto ?? could have a shorted coil.
