That's good. The shift lever switch should be OK.

I would now be looking at at a bad ground for the light, or wiring harness damage that would allow +12 to appear on the ground side of the light when the main switch is on. Trouble is that the schematic doesn't have a detail of the meter showing where the Neutral light gets it's signal.

Is this a HISUN or LINHAI unit? The only service data I have is for the LINHAI chassis.

OK, now I see it. I presume that the light stays off when the shifter is in Neutral and the engine has started.

With the limited service data available and not having opened one up, my best guess is a defective meter head. Without a detailed schematic of the speedometer module, the source of the signal for the light is unknown. The service manual only has a wiring diagram which does not show an external source for the light.

What you are seeing is a condition where all indicators are lit as part of the power on self test, but the Neutral light is normally inhibited during this process if the shift lever switch is out of the neutral position.

Sorry.

3 hours ago, that guy from Canada said:

The system is lighting the neutral indicator as system check.

The neutral sensor is not working or bad wires, locate it either in shifter or on transmission and simply jump the switch connector to check light.

If light works sensor if light doesn't work, wiring or ground problem.

I wish it were that easy, but I don't believe you are correct.

If you look back through the thread, I asked if the gear indicator display on the speedo head was working correctly and he said that it was. This verifies that the proper signal is being received by the speedo head from the gearshift lever position switch. If you also look at the posted video, you clearly see the "N" for neutral being displayed even after the POST (power-on, self test) has completed. The fact that the light goes out after the POST with the "N" displayed points to a defect in the speedo head logic, rather than a grounding issue. I could be wrong, but that is where the diagnostic path takes us.

IMHO this really is a minor point, since the light is pretty much redundant. I have the same speedo on my TB550F and I rarely even notice it.

      Coleman Outfitter 550 E Brake adjustment
      By Alien10
      This is the E Brake, the one that is on the center drive shaft rotor below the dump bed. It is NOT related to any of the wheel disc brakes. 
      A few months after purchasing my Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun) new,  the E brake stopped working.  Thought it had got water or oil on it as it gradually went from good holding to poor holding to literally NO holding.  Been lazy using a piece of 4x4 to keep from rolling, but that's a pain.   So, into the barn I went with work light to see what the heck is wrong. E brake pedal worked, but hit a hard stop and  felt like the cable was froze up from rust but that was not the case.  As it turns out the E brake is actuated by some kind of weird actuator lever/cam arrangement based upon the actuator lever being moved about 15 degrees from its fully released position. That makes the adjustment pretty critical with such little movement.  Bolt "C" in the pic below is the adjustment bolt, held in place by lock nut "B".  Working from below, here is what I did.
      Removed the skid plate below the E brake.   6 bolts and washers.  Next, looked at the brake pads which still had a good amount of pad left on them. Looked to be a little less than 1/8" each.  Verified that the cable from the E brake pedal "A" actuated the E brake arm "D".  Cable "A" pulls and released lever "D" in the direction of the curved arrow.  Applied E brake and checked the actuator arm, it was all the way up with no bare cable "A" showing.  Released E brake and checked the actuator arm, it was all the way down with bare cable "A" showing as in the pic below. That spring pulls the lever to fully released position. Note: I disconnected the release spring from at the lever with needle nosed pliers to make working with the adjustment easier to do without that pressure on the lever.  With E brake released, loosened lock nut "B" and backed it off the lever about 1/8" or so.  Tightened adjustment bolt "C" by hand just until it stopped.  Retightened lock nut "B".   E brake now holds securely on my hillside driveway, and releases completely.  Reinstalled skid plate.  Hope this might be of some help to someone as none of this is in the owner's manual or in diagrams. 
       up.
      Released brake and rechecked the actuator arm, it was all the way down.

      Need advice
      By klm
      So here is my dilemma, I bought a 2014 Massimo MSU500 eleven years ago from TSC, its never been off the farm, had my share of ups and downs with it but never walked back to the house. I have bought a Kubota Sidewinder and it is a fine machine.Problem is I just dont need the Massimo and would like to sell it but the last thing want to do is sell it (cheap) to someone who doesn't realize what a POS a Massimo  can be and can't afford to maintain it.  I plan to put it of Craigslist with pictures and description, not sure how to warn potiential buyers without scaring them away.  I feel like it could be a great buy for the right person or a terrible buy for the wrong person.  I'm thinking $2500.

      2015 Massimo 550 Throttle Position Sensor issue
      By TexAcoon
      I'm looking to purchase a 2015 Massimo 550 that might have an issue with it's throttle position sensor.   
      From the fella selling this UTV, he claims its to set the idle on fuel injection because the engine will not stay idle or when it starts sometimes it idles too high.
      My Question if anyone had any issues with their Massimo 550 and if it was actually the TPS or something else that would allow the machine to idle correctly.
      Thanks!

      2020 Axis 500 - only getting reverse and neutral
      By JimG
      Recently, my unit Axis 500 (2020) will only go into reverse and neutral. I am not able to get high or low. The engine itself sounds fine and I do not have other issues on this unit. I change the engine oil but have not yet changed the gear oil.
      Before this happened I occasionally encountered issue where going from reverse to high gear, it would grind some and i had to reposition to shift into high gear. I also for last couple weeks heard a squeaking sound. I couldn't tell what it was. Was looking for a grease point I missed.
      The unit has around 70 hours and is kept in the garage.
      Anyone else encounter this type of scenario? Any suggestions on troubleshooting would be appreciated. Thanks.
