I have a New Holland C 185 Skid Steer. The foot pedals won't unlock. When I tie seat belt and push unlock button the hand controls unlock but not the foot controls so I can't use the bucket. I can drive the machine around but not operate the bucket. Any advice? Need Help

If you have a cab door be sure it is closed or that the cab door switch is working.

Im a new holland mechanic. The number one problem usually is on of the solenoids on the control valve beneath your feet under the panel. It will sometimes work then once it heats up enough from an internal short it will start clicking really fast then stop and then both solenoids will not work. Unplug one at a time until you find what one is bad. You can also test the door switch plug with a voltage reader to verify problem since it sends backfeed from the bad solenoid. Voltage will be lower than 12v and continue to drop the more the solenoid heats up. New solenoids are around 250. Hope this helps anyone!
