Bobcat 863 traction lock won't release

I just replaced the traction lock solenoid with a new one directly from Bobcat.

When I start her up, all the lights come on and are solid on the BCIS display, but I never never hear the "thunk" when I press the 'traction lock over ride' button. And the machine is locked right where she sits. All functions other than wheel movement work fine.

I lifted the cab with the machine running and all lights lit up and at the solenoid there is 12V going to the 'hold' side of the solenoid.

I did noticed that the plunger from the switch at the parking brake is missing. Would that effect this?

Any direction on troubleshooting would be appreciated.

Thanks,
wR
