Cat 299c

Fault light, the exclamation point next to (left of) the parking P light is flashing. Someone else has been running machine for a few days so I dont know what is going on. If you try to push the park button and move it automatically stops machine and puts it back in park with warning light flashing. All the fluids are good I need a place to start looking.
Thanks

You might want to check the harness and plug at the drive motors. Sometimes the plug for the speed sensor can get pulled out. Its a good place to start.

There is a sensor on the boom (arm) that is a very common problem with the cats for Lockout

If your sitting in the machine it will be on the right hand side (ps)

You'll need to stand up one the tracks and look behind the arm you should see a black wire (middle of arm - centre) follow the wire to the sensor. Wiggle the wires to verify lock/un-lock

Determine if it is the sensor itself / wire or in some rare cases both
