My good friend is having problems and doesn't know where to turn. He relies on his dozer for his income for his family. We have been trying to troubleshoot it but we are at the end of what we know. He does not know computers well so he asked me if I could post this. Here is his description: the Caterpillar serial no. is 3ZN00440. The transmission S.N. is 9RX00856. It is a D6R, 1997 year model. As soon as you start the engine, after about 3 or 4 seconds, the alarm starts sounding and the brake warning light on the dash starts flashing red off and on about a second or so apart. The brakes are locked down and the machine won’t move – when you put it in gear you can tell it puts it in a strain but the brakes hold it. It is some electrical problem. I have the seat our and the floorboards and am trying to clean – blowing with air compressor, etc. – there is a lot of dirt, and gunk all over, and I’m trying to find some wire that might be frayed, etc. but so far haven’t found one. also not sure maybe an ECM problem? Do they sell refurb or used ones? Any other ideas?
Any info would be much appreciated
Thanks
Rick
