Hi All, I have bobcat s650. Power Bob-Tach quit working. I checked the switch with a tester and switch is working. there is no power coming to a switch. I couldn't detect any power just some 0.014 volt. I also checked fuses but couldn't allocate fuse for Bob-Tach in a cabin fuse box(please see attached image) . Any ideas where are the fuses are for Bob-Tach ? Thank you!

did you ever find were the switch gets it power

I have a t300 and the bobtach moves up and down just fine when not putting an attachment on. as soon as i pull up to the bucket the bobtach wont go all the way down. like its not getting enough pressure. does this sound like a coil issue?

I'm about to find out.

I'm new to the board and very pleased to see this write-up here. I sure hope I only need the first couple of suggestions, but it will be what it will be I suppose. Thank you for the write up Willy59. Much appreciated!

Hi everyone - I have a 2012 S205. The Bob-tach recently stopped closing. Opens fine. Have power at the switch. Guessing from this write up (thank you @willie59) that I likely have a bad Open solenoid. Planning to get it in the shop in the next couple of weeks and pull it apart. Does my assumption seem reasonable?
