I have an '04 544J. On Friday afternoon, while the machine was running, the instrument panel stopped working (LCD went blank and all analog gauges quit). The machine only has about 2,200 hours and has never given any indication that here might be an issue with it. The transmission is no longer working properly either. It seems as though it is working only in one gear (forward and reverse) and the transmission does not usually engage without asking it several times (moving the shuttle lever between N and F or R, whichever you are trying to use several times).
I spoke with one of the local Deere mechanics and he suspects that the cluster has failed. As you may imagine it is a very expensive part. I have a hard time thinking why this part would fail with so few hours on the machine.
Has anyone else had this issue?
