I'm not sure where to get the power from for the auxillary solinoids. I took power for mine from the one that was getting power when I used the thumb control. Cut that one and feed the 3-way switch so the thumb control powers both solinoids and just have to flip the switch for in or out on the...

I have attached a short video of what I did to get my grapple working until I can get into the dealer for ACS replacement. I neglected to take a pic of where I taped the 3-way switch. It is taped up under the cross arm on the left side and I use it to switch between solinoids. Like said a little...

If I get my unit back into the shop I'll take some pictures of what I did. As for testing I did exactly what a few of the posts had mentioned. Swaped the solenoid connection wires and thats how I got to where I'm at. With Christmas coming the shop has turned into a display and wreath making area...

Not really happy about that because it’s going to be expensive. I think the control box or ACS I think it’s called runs around $1,800 or so. So I’m a little nervous on what the total cost will be.

Well I replaced the right hand control also thinking the toggle switch was bad. Had the same result so I too have a good RH control. I checked all my wires and connections and do believe the problem is with the main control box. From what I read it has to be changed and adjusted by the...

I measured the voltage from the connector at each solenoid from each pin to ground. only one had voltage of around 8.5 V. This is the wire that I spliced into for my 3-way switch work around. Ran the switched wire to the dark screw on the switch and the other two back to connect one each to the...

Well I went to the Bobcat dealer and found them to be at least 2 months out so that wont work. I decided to make a slight rewire on the auxiliary hydraulics. Ended up cutting the power wire at the working solenoid and put a 3-way switch in the cab so now the toggle that works is poweriing both...

The auxiliary solenoids are only getting power to one of them, figured it was the switch in the joystick and installed a new one only to have the same problem. I have 8.5 volts to the one that works and nothing the other. My next step is checking all connections but am thinking its probably the...
