Jerry : Hmmm ???
This is not a new thing to any of us that have been in the industry for a long time !
No different than having a Chevy and expecting that their parts or accessories should DIRECT fit a Ford, Dodge or WTF !
You're Pissed, We Get That ! …… but it's no different than owning a JD skid attachment and expecting it to fit a Case, Cat or Komatsu or JCB or ??? with power beyond controls ….. OR why is it that CAT and JD and CASE use the exact same 14-pin Deutch connector on the Boom for Power beyond Controllability, UNTIL you look at the Pin Configurations to be TOTALLY Different ????….. WTF !!! …… the ONLY THING they share in common is NOW the Attachment plate, even that has NOT been a standardized situation for that many years either ! ……
Try not to Blame Bcat Exclusively for your not knowing that they use a system the other OEM's Don't ! …… We Are ALL in the Same Boat when it comes to buying other Attachments Built type specific to their Machines
Bobcat as a DEFAULT elec plug-in uses the 7-pin Canbus system, BUT, as an accessory add on we can add a 14-pin plug-in 12V control harness (which I had done to my Bcat ) ……. I have attachments that were built by Manufacturers other than Bcat, WHY is it that they offer 18 + configurations of wire harnesses to try and make their attachments fit as many brands as possible !!!
The Blade you bought has an Electronic Control Module (ECM) added within the Attachments wire harness, mounted just before the wires that go to the solenoids, if Rob @ SSS has not got a solution that will make you Happy, then you have to remove ALL elec components on the Blade including the Coils on the Solenoids …. they have to be replaced with 12V actuated coils and worked forward to your Cat Machine including either buying a pre-made harness from CAT or ??? that will be compatible to Your's ….. It's Not Rocket Science "Just a Big PITA ! "
You only posted this Issue you're having on Friday, (3-days ago) it's Monday OF the first Major long weekend of the Year !!! ……. Be a Little Patient ! ….. As KSSS posted with his suggestion, and as you've followed up on with Rob @ SSSolutions he is the BEST ! … and WILL have a solution for you to make the transition easiest as possible ! ……
JMHO ! …… Cheers ! and Happy Holiday Weekend !
PS : OHH !!! … BTW ! ……. if you choose to remove the ECM and Harnesses DON'T be shy to advertise them For-Sale ! ….. as myself I am in the middle of building an attachment that will have the need for the OEM harness to control ALL of the functions I Plan to use, 10 Functions to be exact (I had to purchase these pieces from Bcat $$$$$ ) …. again … Cheers !
