Second Update... Bobcat tech came out and confirmed its the controller. The problem is the epoxy separates from the box around the edges, and moisture makes its way in. Part was replaced, machine started, but no movement. Tech determined the ACS was shot too, same reason... Run a thick bead of...

Update on the situation.... today i managed to remove the left kick plate to continue looking for a break in the harness. I removed the plugs connecting the controller to the harness one at a time, with the meter measuring the resistance from the load side of the computer circuit at the fuse box...

Night before last I moved the machine in the yard, parked it ,all was fine. Next day I went to move it, and nothing. Displays don't power, not able to enter password, no way to start it. I discovered the computer fuse is blown. Tried replacing it, and it blows instantly. Meter on the load side...

Thanks LS180, I better use mine then... That might explain how I missed that.

hmmm sounds like a challenge.... :)

Thanks a lot LS180, I greatly appreciate the information on the valve types. In your previous post you indicated which pins do which function, however I'm wondering if these are listed on the connector. Do they number clockwise or in some other scheme?

Just to throw this out there, but I noticed that on my last trip to Bobcat for maintenance, the tech plugged my s205 into his Dell Laptop. I was quite impressed with the information they can obtain from this connection. Does anyone know where you can get this software and/or the connector?

Thanks for the info LS180. Do you happen to know what the current capability is on those pins? From what I understand with that connector being CAN-Bus, i'd assume it's not set up for a large draw. I'm fairly new to hydraulic components, but I have a good head to figure it out, what exactly is a...

Hi Ken, thank you for the reply. I've read a lot of your other posts and I'm glad to have you offer assistance. Finding the two circuits sounds pretty straight forward. As for a valve and cylinder nothing yet. I was thinking that the local Princess Auto here in town might have something., and I...

Hi all, this is my first post, I'm hoping it's in the right place. I have a rotary broom that doesn't have hydraulic assisted angle. As i'm sure anyone will agree, stopping the machine, getting out, kicking the broom around and getting back in again is not only a PITA, but lets face it, one of...
