I feel that im getting alot closer to whatever the problem is.Ive got a manual that has the wiring diagram in the back so in the morning im goin to jump back into it aiming at the thumb switch and the control modual.Thank yall for getting me this far.Yall have been alot of help to me..

And one more thing my up and down and tilt worked fine so i dont see how that could be a tilt solanoid.When i told the guy at bob cat that it was workin fine he just looked puzled and he really wasnt much help.Ive learned more by reading u guys post on here than tryin to talk to that guy he...

It started when i went to use grapple for the first time since i bought my bobcat a year ago.Aux light comes on when i push the button but nothin at all would happen.So i was told to check the solanoids and the 2 that my book said were the aux was both workin but there was another solanoid that...

Yes the lights come on when i push the aux button but solonoids dont do anything

Does anybody know how i could test a auxiliary control mondule on a 853c?Im trying to see if its getting power in and sendin it back out..

Thanks alot thats a big help cause i went into 2 of the solenoids today i just hope i didnt hurt them because i didnt know anything about a shuttle being inside the stem and cleaned them with a little pipe cleaner brush and w-d 40 and put them back in.I will take them back out tomorrow.How will...

I read on here about someone with the same problem and they said there solenoid was just stuck so i did what he suggested and took them apart and cleaned them.I also put power on them while i had them out im just not real sure what i was lookin for.You just could hear them hum.I didnt have alot...
