    Quick mini Excavator 2 speed question.

    Sounds like you have a short to ground somewhere then in the circuit which is causing the system to stay closed and engage the high speed system , pull the solenoids then check the leads to ground (each one) if you get continuity follow that back to the short . Look for a pinch point in the...
