Hi
I have a 10t wheel loader, made in China. I was using it yesterday and stopped for a drink break, about 15 minutes. When I got back inside and tried to start it, it behaved as if it had a flat battery. I checked both batteries and they were good, but swapped them for a pair of brand newies.
Anyway, it still behaved like a flat battery, with a click when I turned the key and the all the gauges with power dropping to zero showing current being pulled.
I assumed the starter solenoid must be a bit funny so took it out and tested it with a battery and it worked. I took it down to an auto electrician. He tested it and told me the starter and solenoid are fine.....
This loader has no electronics, just lights, starter motor and aircon fans. All other controls are levers and the like, so there are no obvious electronics that are gone. I assume there is a master relay, so besides that I am at a loss.
Any body experienced anything similar and can offer a suggestion?
cheers
