Short?

L 160, My hour display stays on all the time. I think it might be draining the battery. I can jump it to start. Any ideas? Thanks

Most hour meter are internally battery powered.

Also please verify model number.

Sorry. It is an E160. The display has wires connected to it. It used to go off when the key is off. I have an X340 that does the same.. thank you

I don't have a wiring diagram on that model but it sounds like you may have an ignition switch problem.

I know this diagram is fuzzy, but it might help you out.

here is the make break table for the ignition switch

Thank you so much. I think it might be the switch as well. Tried blowing it out with air hose. Even tossed a little WD in it. Guess I will start there.
