Trying to fix a customer's JD 7775, around 1997 model. He has broken the seat belt switch, removed and lost the parts...yay..he then jumped out the 2 wires to the seatbelt switch and had the machine running again, but pedals wouldn't unlock, so I got the call.
I have a lot of Bobcat experience, but none on JD skidsteer.
When I showed up, nothing works at all. Sit on the seat and nothing in the dash. Checked all fuses and they look fine.I flipped the Run/Service switch to Service, and machine starts, still locked pedals but I am not too concerned about that yet.
My question(s) are:
What is the purpose/function of the Run/Service switch?
Will I be creating a problem running the machine for extended period in Service mode?
Am I correct in thinking that when you sit in the seat the dash panel should come on, and machine should start? Then pedals should unlock when the seatbelt is latched?
Thanks for any help I may receive on this
