[QUOTE="Wild-bobcat S205, post: 76859, member: 10404"] I checked the 100amp fuse 12.53 volts on both sides. I checked all fuses and all wiring and can't find anything amiss. I phoned my local bobcat dealer mechanic and he told me to splice into the red wire of the three wires that heads to the key ignition switch behind the front right light and run a wire to a 12V source and see if that hot-wires everything to get it going. Well sure enough it worked. I checked the codes on the computer and it shows nothing. Obviously the wire heading to the ignition is broke or damaged somewhere and that is the cause of the issue. Bizarre that I can't find where it is broken or damaged. There where 2 wires that where rubbed to metal in the cab under the 'carpeting', I fixed and heat spliced those wires but it changed nothing. At least now I can operate the machine and have an idea of where the problem lies. Now I can at least get it on a trailer and to my bobcat dealer for repair. Thanks to all for your help! I may keep this as is for a while so I can keep working but when I finally do get it fixed I will post the results here. [/QUOTE]
