Dead 1845c loader

Loader will not start now. I have been having trouble with the thing dying, but will start right back up. When it dies, I loose all power according to the dashboard. I thought it was in the switch so i replaced it, plus the solenoid and the battery cables, which seemed to help for last 6 days. Today it died and wll not start, there is no power to the dashboard again, but if you leave it sit and cool down, it will start right back up until the cycle repeats itself. I bellieve it is electical rather than fuel, becasue when it dies, its like someone shut the key off. Can anyone tell me if there are relays or solenoids that would affect this behavoir. It certainly acts like the power is getting shut down somwhere, somehow....I appreciate any feedback...thanks

I would try pull and clean all fuses and relays and all conections look for rubbed and chewed wires

Thats just it, where are all the relays located, if there are any. I'm not seeing them

Not sure but look between where your legs are

Ok found it no real fuse box but under your seat there are some inline fuses and conectors get in there and clean them up and let us know

Fuse looks good, its clean and not corroded...there are a slu of wires in a loom that follow the rail up the the switch, and looks like it could be a real pain to expose them...the loom looks clean and good, but havent pulled any wires out of it yet to see if there are any breaks... I was hoping I could test wires rather than exposing them out of the loom if that what it comes to. I have hot to the starter solenoind and nothing on the switch terminal in start postion. Could it be i have a bad brand new solenoid?

Could be but I saw where someone had a connector under the seat that needed cleaning and fixed it see anything like that

Try jumping the little wire to the big one on the starter

Also look for a big fuse above the battery

Still sounds like a weak connection to me

I would have to agree on the weak connection. Are there any relays/sensors/solenoinds that would keep it from running if lets say: the oil was low, or perhaps filters are full and plugged ...I'm just thinkin outloud.....I do have a generator that will not run if oil is low, that what makes me think its something obvious

That's all I can find check your cables again make sure the grounds are good and clean and clean and check under the aux hydro and the solinoid by it

Ok looked at the pic again maybe not a solliniod mabye just a spring but it is on the very bottom of the aux hydro spool folks are saying clean it

I have followed ever visible wire, excluding inside the loom, and all looks good, no bare wire or breaks...I have take a die grinder with abrasive wheel and cleaned all visible connections. Short of pulling all that wire out of the loader frame and loom I am puzzled and can't figure this thing out

Ok that was for sticky aux hydro sorry my bad but would clean all grounds and make sure the starter is tight and clean for ground also

Check all grounds real careful, especially starter connections.
