I have a moniter for allis 330 6 row air 78 units, that seems to flash all the time even when a chain broke on 1 row and i continued planting because it kept flashing, but then somrtimes it goes blank for a few seconds, open for suggestions, or opinions, thanks

while I don't know your equipment....

bad wiring and or connections would be my first 2 guesses.

gotta be a a fair bit of 'vibration' going on and that's always bad for connectors. Bend a wire enough times ,it'll break.

any water(? hehe) or chemicals, that WILL corrode wires, might not even see that happen

Sounds like some serious 2-person testing is needed. Somehow turning each seed disc individually with seed in the hopper and fans running. Row #1 should align with Light #1 and so on. No other light should flash when testing one row at a time. There should be a beeper alarm when things quit planting, so it must not work either. Sounds like a harness issue to me. Dickey John made the monitor for A-C.

hook all up, unplug all the units - drive around or at least wiggle the harness at all points. No light should be on or flash, then plug in one by one doing the same thing - should eliminate the harness or a sensor. Another troubleshooting trick is to see what light is on - then swapping the row next to it to see if the problem follows the sensor or stays with the harness.
