Every now and then I lose the blade position info for the Grade control (Accu Grade?). Serial number KW2000287.
It has done it a few times usually after I have been running for a while and I shut it off for lunch, when I start back it loses its position. I while post the before and after. I also have the codes it shows. I'm thinking its a loose wire or heat related. Any ideas of where to start?

I haven’t had to time to get it home to fix it, been busy trying to catchup on my jobs. It hasn’t messed up in the last week or so. Rainy weather here in Kentucky has me behind schedule.
