P700 Display comes back on after shutting down

[Rsloveiii]

I have a 2015 700-4. I love this thing, its a work horse. I was ready to head out hunting this weekend and the battery was completely drained. I installed a new battery and it cranked right up. When I returned from hunting the check engine light was blinking 6 long times and 4 short and it was tough to shift. The display would also not turn off when I shut down the machine. The portion of the display that shows "R' or "D" just had a "-". One time I turned the key off it kept running until i put my foot on the brake.

I unplugged the positive wires off the battery to keep the display from draining it. When I plugged it back in the gear issue was gone. I think my main issue is now when I turn the machine off, at some point the display comes back on, it could be 5 minutes, it could be 2 hours. I spent the weekend unhooking the battery each time I got to my hunting spot which is a pain.

What do you guys think my issue is? Ignition switch?

I have the same issue with my 700-4 2019 model. Thinking it is the ignition switch but hope some can help

Yep, might try spraying some CRC Contact Cleaner into the switch. Might be the quick, cheap fix.

If you don't get a quick fix with cleaning or replacing the ignition switch I'd wire a battery disconnect in it. Definitely easier than unhooking the battery every time you park it.

Might also suggest pulling the contacts plug on the back of the gauge and clean those contacts as well. Additionally, you might look behind the ignition switch to see if there's a weather plug. If so remove and clean this contacts as well.
