Case 420ct. Electrical problem

My loader lost power. It was the 15 amp fuse that is labels Inter lock/Inst cluster. When blow, none of the panel lights would come on. The starter would turn but engine would not start. I replaced the fuse and it started right up with everything working. When I push on th sticks to go forward it moves about a foot and quits. Fuse blow. Again. Any ideas? Thanks don

I was thinking it must be a short in the joy sticks somewhere. I put a 20 amp fuse in and got it moved out of the way. must have burnt the wire into cause now the fuse doesn't blow and everything works fine except the right joy stick that controls the bucket curl. It will go forward and back just not side to side. Gonna start jumping wires tomorrow and see if I can figure out which one it is.

Hopefully it isn't too hard to find. At least everything else is working which should help trace it as you now have power.

You have probably fixed the problem by now but this may help somebody else. what happens is the loader lockout solenoids get weak and blow the fuse and when you put a bigger fuse in it actually burnt the solenoid, which is the easy way to figure out which lock out solenoid is bad, whether it is on the lift spool or the tilt spool. Once you figure out which solenoid is bad its an easy fix they screw into the loader control valve the one that controls the loader lift is the one that has a stud out the top of it
