    Caterpillar 262D New Grapple won't operate

    I received a new joystick today. I installed the unit and fire the machine up. The auxiliary switches work with fluid going through. So the it was the joystick after all. Thanks for the information.

    Caterpillar 262D New Grapple won't operate

    Yes, I checked all the wires. I opened the thumbwheel and the springs inside were completely rusted from top to bottom. So I am sure that the corrosion goes into the wiring circuit causing an open circuit.

    Caterpillar 262D New Grapple won't operate

    Took the joystick off the controller and put the multimeter to it. I got continuity in the trigger button, but the thumbwheel nothing, so as I suspected it is the thumbwheel. So the search begins.

    Caterpillar 262D New Grapple won't operate

    I did check the fuses all were fine. I know its the thumb wheel. I plan to tear it apart. A new cover with the thumb wheel from Cat is $487. It is not the entire joystick, just the cover with the thumb wheel. So if I could find a used joy stick for a fair price I will go that route. I can...

    Catapillar 262D Code 2204-3 & 3700-3 Questions

    When checking the wiring it appears that this was never replaced before. So I will order a new sensor and that may clear up both codes. Thank you for your help and when it is installed I will let you know how it went.

    Today after reading over the Electrical Schematic and the parts locations in the diagrams I went to the shop to look at these parts. The first thing that was discovered was that the Loader Bucket Inclinometer Sensor was missing. Just the wires tucked under the attachment bracket. It appeaars...
