T180 electrical problem

[flyingsquirrel]

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out a T180 problem for my boss. There are no lights one either panel, and it wont start. It has a key type ignition switch. All the usual suspects have been checked, battery, fuses, relays etc. We had a guy out here to look at it. He seemed to think it was the computer on the lower left of the cab. We are in a pretty remote area and its expensive to get it worked on, and the guy cant get back out there for a while. There is good power to the right control panel, (the one with the ignition switch) when the switch is turned there is power to the left panel. The buzzer on the left panel sounds loudly when the key is turned to the run position. There are no lights at all on either panel left or right. The fuses and relays seem good, I moved a few around with no change. I can get the starter to turn over by jumping the relay with a fused jumper. The ignition switch seems to have good continuity. One thing I found strange is that on the right hand panel, even though I have power coming in to the panel, and power going to the ignition switch, there seems to be some resistance from the the pin where the power comes into the panel to the pin that goes to the ignition switch. I may be barking up the wrong tree but this seems to make me suspect that the right hand control panel is bad. Any thoughts would be appreciated. TIA
