S205 - No Lift, has tilt

[Spent]

I have a Bobcat S205 that will not lift. The tilt function still works fine. It almost seems that there might be a malfunction with the door sensor, but even with the door off it won't seem to unlock the pedal that controls the lifting. I've checked fuses, hydraulic pressure is in normal range. No codes are coming up which makes me think it might be a sensor or something along that line. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the pedal stuck in the float position?

The pedal feels like it would before unlocking the hydraulics. After unlocking, the right(tilt) pedal frees up, but the left(lift) pedal remains "locked" in that mode. Thanks for the reply!

Sometimes if the float mode(lift pedal pushed and locked all the way forward) isn't used for a while the detent balls get rusty and then when the pedal is pushed into float mode it gets stuck there. Try kicking the pedal down and see if will free up.

Definitely not that, I suspect (in my very non expert opinion) that it has something to do with the door sensor, although it won't work even if i detach the door and unplug all harnesses.

Door sensor would lock both functions. It sounds like pedal is staying locked. If it is, I would flip the cab and look at the front of the cable where the linkage goes in. The lift is the bottom one. Remove the spool lock solenoid and try it.

I'll try that, thanks.
