It's a shot in the dark, I know....
So I snapper a wire on my tilt- tach and every since then, been trying to get my switch under the right joystick to work. Since I've owned the tractor, the switch never clicked, but if I held it, it would send current down a wire along my lift arm and to the solenoid on my attachment.
Ever since I sheared that wire, I can't get the results I need. I have 13v on a off at the wire, when the lap bar is down. but i can never get the solenoid to open. I pulled the handle apart and took the horn micro switch out and replaced for the trigger switch that I need to work. it does click on now, and had 13v for a minute, and then lost it. I do have continuity the whole length of the wire. So that makes me think there is a relay acting up (all fuses are good). Looking at the service manual, I only see a level lock relay that makes sense, but wouldn't I have loss of other functions if that relay was bad? Everything else on the skid works as it should.
I ended up running a new wire from the battery to a toggle, but I don't like having to reach out of the cab to switch the solenoid.
Are there other relays somewhere that would cause this one little circuit to be bad? I've been scouring the service manual so any help would be appreciated. thanks a lot.
