So I have had this bobcat for a few years - runs great!. Thumb paddle hydraulics work awesome and I've never had any issues even remotely related to hydraulics or hydraulic wiring. I will say I have always had a fault code on the BICS that is related - a single flash in loader valve light meaning "valve output circuit is open". But since all the hydraulics I've ever needed work well, I just ignored it
So I buy a log splitter for it and need continuous flow - first time I've even tried to use continuous flow. The trigger switch isn't activating it. A somewhat knowledgeable friend suggested changing out the right hand controller, being sure to buy the full package with new connectors. This helped in the fact it now triggers the interloc/brake if the seat bar is up but still no hydraulics.
Clues and facts:
So any ideas, information, tips, tricks etc you folks can pass along I would appreciate!
Thanks in advance!

Clues and facts:
- Serial number 512724274 - mid 90s I'm told
- Has "press to operate".
- According to the manual, a machine with "Press to operate", should never have a single flash which is puzzling.
- Has standard right hand controller - not "advanced", high flow, progressive or anything like that.
- My procedure to activate continuous flow by double pressing the aux hydraulics button(i get both lights) and pressing the trigger switch. I have tried several other combinations (ie pressing thumb paddle first, parking brake set and unset, etc).
- Log splitter operates fine if I hit the thumb switch and a friend operates the splitter
- No seat sensor on this skid steer(think it may have been bypassed by a PO if you ask me because the mounting plate looks shop made).
So any ideas, information, tips, tricks etc you folks can pass along I would appreciate!
Thanks in advance!
