    Error FOA

    Well, I think I may have found part of the problem. Only used it for about 10 min but it was light free. You would never guess. While I was fooling around with the foa I was on a diet at the same time. Believe it or not I'm starting to think the 30 lbs was all that was holding my skinny ass in...

    ls170 park brake

    steggles, I don't know. But Just buy the workshop manual. It will prove very helpful. It is not your run of the mill brake location. You need to remove the rear wheels and drive housing. But you can check the linkage from the handle to where it runs into the chain boxes. You will need to search...

    Error FOA

    The FOA is gone, but for the first couple of minutes whenever I touch the upcurl or boom up pedals the seat belt light and the yellow light to the far left lights. Sometimes the pedals lock sometimes they don't. But I just flip my seat belt toggle and all is well. But it is not correct and I...

    Apple browser compatability

    Sort of is right. It's buggy but after some errors and having to tab through to get a cursor, it works better than having to restart. Thank you.

    Apple browser compatability

    Thank you, I'll give it a try. I flipped a coin between chrome and ff, but I must have picked the wrong one. FF it is, i'll let you know how it goes.

    Error FOA

    I did not buy a new seat belt sw, just put a toggle in. The first toggle was 16 amps and the new toggle is 50. I'm not sure if that has made any difference because i'm not back to that yet. The honeydew list has interupted any progess we may have been making. I'll let you know once I can run...

    Apple browser compatability

    I'm in an apple only household and work environment and can't access the site with safari or chrome. I needed to bootcamp windows on one machine, then need to reboot everytime to check in. Not a big deal but no one with an apple can get here. Just so you know.

    Error FOA

    I replaced the seat sw and run sw and bypassed the seat belt. Had some odd stuff happen so I got a higher amperage (50amp) seat belt sw and used for a couple of minutes and it seemed ok though I heard one tweet but may have just been backup alarm. but did not have much time. I'll use it some...

    LS 185B Pedals Locked

    you and me both olblue. sitting in the seat and look down between your legs/feet and you see what looks like the driveshaft tunnel in your car. It is held in by 8 bolts. under that tunnel are the pedal solenoids. best way to check them is take them out and put 12v to them and see if they work...

    Error FOA

    Thanks I will re-read that thread. Yes I did see that service would disable the boom/bucket solenoids. I'm going to the dealer in the AM and getting a service sw and a seat sw. I bypassed the seatbelt and put a tiny bit of tape and a cable tie on the capacitor to keep it from vibrating. The...

    Error FOA

    No when to faults there is not 12v coming out of #3. I bought the $30 tradebit one it is over 1000 pages and as a lot of wiring curcuits but not the one to the boom/bucket. I am going to put a toggle inplace of the seatbelt sw. I did search but was just getting more confused. It sat for...

    Error FOA

    I never used those repellers because I thought they would drive the dogs nuttier than they are. It's a 2001 LS170 I'm pretty sure about the year. It is an LS 170 though. It's ser#172869. I took the pk/ltbl wire loose from the connector to the eic and it does have good continuity to the...

    Error FOA

    Thanks very much Jerry. I will check those two switches. I did not look to them because all the other interlock stuff worked fine as far as starting the machine and the seat chime when you get up or unlock. But I will check them. and Thank You for checking you diagram. I am also going to...

    Error FOA

    Hi all. I am getting an FOA error. I am not getting power to the solenoids. I have checked the solenoids and they read 18 ohms. I have good continuity to ground from the black wire. I do not have good continuity on the pk/ltbl wire between the switch and terminal 3 on the eic. it is kind...
