Cat 289d Cold planner electric connection

[nicoola018]

Hello everyone, I’m not sure if this is the right place to post, so feel free to let me know if I should open a new topic.

I have a Caterpillar 289D, serial number TAW05718, and I recently purchased a Simex PL5020.


On the Caterpillar, I have a 14 pin connector with active 9 wires. On the asphalt planer, there are 12 wires (11 white and 1 black). One of them is for the water pump (I could run that separately with its own switch if needed).

My question is: how should I connect the planer to the machine? Is it possible to have all functions controlled through the joystick?

Also, for my model, should I connect pin K to B or pin N to B in order to activate the high flow function?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

First thing you will need is an electrical schematic for the machine. Check your message inbox.

Also, for my model, should I connect pin K to B or pin N to B in order to activate the high flow function?

Connect Pin K to Pin B to activate the High Flow function.

thanks a lot for the Schema, I connected K and B and it turned on the signal on the high flow display. I found this video on youtube, Explanation starts at 3:00, a combination of buttons activates all the functions for the asphalt milling machine. Mine is a simex, not a caterpillar, so I'm wondering if it's possible to use the joystick to use all the functions, or would I have to insert additional switches? I have forwarded pictures of the solenoid.

You have your finger on a white wire that is split open from what I can see and needs to be repaired. Clean up all the solenoid Nuts to the body of the solenoids is another suggestion. Your 3rd picture looks like a damaged white wire on the middle solenoid.

On simex 14 pin connector this is wiring diagram

TBH your best bet would be to contact Skid Steer Genius regarding the availability of an off-the-shelf jumper harness to hook your particular attachment to the 289D. https://www.skidsteersolutions.com/

I started the planer and let the drum spin, then I bridged pins B and K, but I don’t notice the high-flow function activating. The engine sound doesn’t change at all, and the drum speed stays exactly the same.

I already checked the fuses and verified the wiring.

What could be causing this issue?
