OK, for a 70 series, the Left is LC1-28, Center is LC1-29, and Right is LC1-30
If your voltage is 1V to 5.9V - that would be.....really weird. All the sensors on the head use a common 5V supply, so the voltage should not ever be able to go over 5V.
- If the 12V supply wire is touching the left signal wire - it would just read 12V
- If the 12V supply wire was touching the 5V supply wire - all the sensors would be higher voltage.
- If there is a "moisture stray voltage" issue in the plug, I suppose it could be a weird voltage.
If the voltage was traveling from 1 to
4.9V, I would say you had something broken on your left cutterbar arm, allowing the cutterbar to hang way to far down.
I suggest you try the following (Make sure you know the pinout - they can be hard to read/identify!)
- If you unplug the sensor, does the combine read 0.0V or not? No -> go to step 2. Yes -> go to step 3
- Try unplugging the singlepoint. Does the combine read 0.0V? Yes -> Header problem NO -> Combine problem.
- Try looping Pin 20 (5V supply) back into pin 7 on the combine singlepoint (make a jumper). Does the combine read 4.9-5.1V? NO -> Combine problem. Yes -> Head problem
- Go old school, Get out the DVM and backprobe the Center wire at the sensor to a chassis ground - is it REALLY reading 1.0-5.9V?
- If so, Use a Deutsch blue plastic removal tool to pull pin 7 out of the header side of the single point. Let it hang free and remeasure as Step 4 above.
- If it still goes over 5V, then there is a wiring problem on the head. If not, back to a problem in the singlepoint or on the combine.
- Look carefully at your single point plug - is there dirt or moisture in the plug, is it cracked near pin # 7?
