    Kobelco 270 LC Mark IV died.

    Thanks for your reply. There was a wire going up to the roof above the headliner that used to run a revolving light. The light was gone and the ends of the wire were bare (previous owner). The wire was connected to the ignition switch circuit and shorted against the cab and blew the fuse. Once...
