Check your power leads from the batteries to the monitor itself. I had to redo ours..it was about frayed in two. Would cause the monitor/blower motors not to get enough current...and not have enough air to hold seed in seed discs. Just remember, three fans are pulling a good bit of current..have heard of people swapping out their alternator for a bigger one just for planting season. and...make sure all your connections are clean. -Wes

sounds like a bad ground on that row. most of the dealerships have testers for your monitors, might try that. also i am parting out an air champ 4-row. it has a monitor.
