Hi all! This is hillfarmer. As the name states I farm the western iowa hills. Recently got a xd1500, it’s my fourth Ranger through 20+ years. This new one is quite impressive however I’m having a few issues. Hoping to learn some things here. Using this rig all for farm work. I’m 62 years old so forgive me if I don’t get this forum thing figured out!

Welcome hillfarmer, don't worry about internet etiquette, there are many of us here that aren't techy.
I think about any issue you are dealing with has been discussed, hope we can help.

Welcome to the group hillfarmer, you will find we are an older group as most of us are 60 or older (according to the poll I did months ago) Not everyone is tech savvy, but we are a helpful respectful bunch. Don't be shy and chime in whenever you have something to add.

Welcome Hillfarmer. We're from Eastern Iowa, Muscatine. Good group here for sure. What issues are you having?

 

[hillfarmer]

Thanks to those that welcomed me to the group. I’m having issue with ride command stuck in dark mode. Even with light switch on any position

Not sure I can help you but what year is your 1500?

Guessing your light mode button/switch stays grayed out? Are you able to use the screen brightening/dimming slider bar while in dark mode?

 

[hillfarmer]

You are correct. Button is grayed out. I can slide dimmer to make it brighter.

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on the new machine. It’s possible you don’t have the latest ride command update. I’m not sure exactly where to verify what version is current versus what is loaded. I just have my dealer verify all updates whenever it’s in. In the meantime try turning your headlight switch to the first position. That usually worked for me.
